  • Because most older adults are ambulatory, a major focus of mobility assessment is on assessing people who can still walk. Here, mobility is defined as the ability to safely move through the home and community environment to accomplish everyday activities. [Source: Encyclopedia of Health & Aging; Mobility Assessment]
