====== Mobility ======

Functional mobility, one of the basic activities of daily living (ADL) in the fields of [[health care]] and [[rehabilitation]].

[[Fitness]] and [[mobility]] are associated with barrier [[behavior]]s (i.e. encounters and avoidances) among individuals with [[tetraplegia]], but not [[paraplegia]]. Despite a greater barrier avoidance rate, persons with tetraplegia do not perceive more physical barriers than persons with paraplegia. Surprisingly, fitness and [[mobility]] were not related to perception of barriers in either group. More research is required on if barrier perception, behavior, or both influence participation, to enable [[rehabilitation]] programs to tailor interventions to enhance participation
