5. Mobility Symptoms

5.1. Supporting mobility

The person should be supported and encouraged to move around as much as they are able, for example through support to walk or chair-based exercises.

Ask for advice on the best ways to support the person to move without injuring themselves. Speak to a GP, or public health nurse (PHN) , occupational therapist (OT) or physiotherapist for more advice. 

An occupational therapist (OT) can give advice about equipment and adaptations to help with mobility.
