Mobility limits -- Who has mobility difficulties -- Sensations of walking -- Society's views of walking -- How people feel about their difficulty walking -- At home: with family and friends -- Outside home: at work and in communities -- People talking to their physicians -- Physicians talking to their patients -- Physical and occupational therapy and other approaches -- Ambulation aids -- Wheeled mobility -- Who will pay? -- What will be paid for? -- Final thoughts.
Roughly one in ten adult Americans find their walking slowed by progressive chronic conditions like arthritis, back problems, heart and lung diseases, and diabetes. In this passionate and deeply informed book, Lisa I. Iezzoni describes the personal experiences of and societal responses to adults whose mobility makes it difficult for them to live as they wish--partly because of physical and emotional conditions and partly because of persisting societal and environmental barriers.
