Sizin Mobility Away Slipping mı?

Mobility is more than moving from one place to another. It’s freedom and independence.

Whether you have a back or other condition that impacts how you walk, or your body doesn’t move as effortlessly as it once did, decreased mobility impacts a lot of people. But, if you notice changes early on, you and your doctor may be able to work on a plan to keep you moving comfortably for longer.

Qısa gedişlər uzun gedişlər olur

Bir mil mile yürüdükten sonra necə hiss edirsiniz? Bədəninizə ağrılı və ya vergiyə mi cəlb olunur?

Unless you have a spine condition or other disease that limits your ability to walk, you should be able to walk your entire life. If it’s challenging to complete short walks, that’s a red flag your mobility is at risk.

It’s not just walking distance that foreshadows a decline in mobility—how you walk is just as revealing.

Gait is the medical term for how you walk. While gait changes are a typical part of aging, some gait characteristics aren’t normal. For example: If you walk in a shuffling, unsteady, or cautious manner, you should see your doctor. He or she will help assess your gait and hopefully find the reason for it and ways to improve your movement.

Your “Get Up & Go” Is A Bit Slow

Another way to test your mobility is by doing the “get up and go” test.

You’ll need a friend to time you during this task. First, start by sitting in a chair. When your friend says “go,” get up and walk 10 feet in a straight line, then turn around and walk back to the chair and sit down. Most people who have healthy mobility can complete the exercise in 10 seconds or less.

While speed is an important part of this exercise, think about how you feel afterward. Do you feel any pain in your back muscles or in your legs or joints? If so, you should talk to your doctor to find ways to ease these movements’ impact on your quality of life.

Daily Tasks Aren’t So Routine

Gününüzün yalnız tipik bir hissəsi olanda yemək yeyirmi və ya bir dəhşətə dözə bilirmi? Bir zamanlar asan olan vəzifələriniz üçün iş yeriniz varmı?

One can overlook how a once simple part of your daily routine has slowly morphed into a challenging task. You may adjust your lifestyle to accommodate a decline in mobility (like putting a seat in the shower), but that’s a sign it’s time to see your doctor.

Doktorunuz, hərəkət problemlərinizin altına gələ bilər və asanlıqla hərəkət edə biləcəyiniz üçün köməkçi bir cihazdan istifadə edərək, köməkçi yolları təklif edir.

You Don’t Travel Far From Home

This isn’t about getting on a plane—you don’t travel to the other side of town. Avoiding going away from home, even if it’s a grocery store a few miles from your house, could be a sign your ability to move is declining.

Bununla əlaqədar düşünün: Running errands across town for an hour or two takes physical endurance. If you feel mentally and physically exhausted over the thought of completing a few errands, that’s a red flag your mobility health is at risk.
