Mobility and physical impairments

There are a variety of physical impairments that impact on functioning and mobility. These include limitations in the use of the limbs, limited manual dexterity, limited coordination of limbs, cerebral palsy, spinal bifida and sclerosis. Physical impairment can be congenital (something one is born with), or it can be the result of disease, accident, violence or old age.
