AB  - The  term  mobility  can  be  described  based  on  two  different  but  interrelated  parameters.  It  is  often  defined  as  the  ability  of  structures  or  segments  of  the  body  to  move  or  be  moved  to  allow  the  presence  of  range  of  motion  for  functional  activities  (functional  ROM).2  It  can  also  be  defined  as  the  ability  of  an  individual  to  initiate,  control,  or  sustain  active  movements  of  the  body  to  perform  simple  to  complex  motor  skills  (functional  mobility).42,124  Mobility,  as  it  relates  to  functional  ROM,  is  associated  with  joint  integrity  as  well  as  the  flexibility  (i.e.,  extensibility  of  soft  tissues  that  cross  or  surround  joints—muscles,  tendons,  fascia,  joint  capsules,  ligaments,  nerves,  blood  vessels,  skin),  which  are  necessary  for  unrestricted,  pain-free  movements  of  the  body  during  functional  tasks  of  daily  living.  The  ROM  needed  for  the  performance  of  functional  activities  does  not  necessarily  mean  full  or  "normal"  ROM.
