| Abstract | For an older person (> 65 years of age), the ability to maintain independence in a familiar environment is strongly influenced by efficiency of mobility. Mobility involves an integration of personal body, environmental and social resources. The older adult must be able to effectively combine these resources to meet basic and higher order human needs within their immediate and external environments (Carp, 1988). An inability to do so could lead to changes in the physical, social and psychological well-being of the elder (Wachs, 1979, P.1). |
