People=s entire daily routine involves movement. Restricted mobility therefore leads to development of a need for long-term care, as everyday activities can no longer be managed. Mobility is thus associated with quality of life, ability to participate, and personal independence. The aim should therefore be to get more movement into the day. Carers can have a positive influence on mobility, preventing those affected from becoming immobilized and bedridden, and can encourage processes to reverse such developments. To do this, it is necessary to identify meaningful reasons and occasions for getting the patient mobile and to implement these in collaboration with other partners. This book provides many tips and suggestions on how to successfully promote mobility in everyday life. All settings for geriatric care are taken into account, and interesting practical examples and movement concepts are presented. Management of elderly people who no longer want to move, or are no longer able to, is also addressed and ethically examined.
