MyMobility Plan
Falls and motor vehicle crashes, which are related to mobility, are some of the leading causes of injury and injury death in older adults. There are many negative outcomes for older adults if they stop driving or fall, including reductions in their health, social interaction, and the ability to get around. ob体育 developed the MyMobility planning tool, using available scientific evidence, to help older adults plan for future mobility changes that might increase their risk for motor vehicle crashes and falls. Adult children or caregivers can also use this planning tool to help older parents, relatives, or friends.
