Mobility Management in Neuromuscular Disease

Mobility is important to assess and maintain throughout the course of all neuromuscular diseases. A physical therapist plays an important role, in addition to the interdisciplinary team, in maintaining safe mobility. The aim for most is to maintain function to improve quality of life and independence. In certain neuromuscular disease processes, mobility changes continuously, and it is important for the rehabilitation team to collaborate with people and caregivers to optimize function and maintain safety.
