4Ms Mobility for Clinicians

Mobility, the ability to move in one’s home and community, is closely related to physical health and quality of life. Impaired mobility is linked to falls, reduced independence, long-term hospitalization, nursing home placement, and death. In this learning course, we provide information about mobility and older adults.
