Mobility 1

Action Required for Ambulation

• Double pendulum.

• Single pendulum.

• Triple pendulum.

• Quadruped motion.

Lung Benefits of Ambulation

• Preserves lung tissue and airway function.

• Increases lung capacity by 50%.

• Reduces the risk of lung cancer by 30%.

• Improves oxygen absorption by 20%.

Ambulation

• The ability to walk around.

• The ability to run quickly.

• The ability to jump high.

• The ability to swim effectively.

Circulation Improvement

• Ambulation improves circulation.

• Sitting for long periods improves circulation.

• Drinking water improves circulation.

• Eating a balanced diet improves circulation.

Strengthening the spine

• Supports muscles and improves posture

• Causes back pain

• Weakens the core muscles

• Increases flexibility in the legs

Reducing wear and tear

• Helps protect joints

• Increases joint flexibility

• Causes joint pain

• Leads to joint inflammation

Aligning bones and joints

• Reduces any stress that may occur

• Increases the risk of injury

• Causes joint pain

• Leads to muscle stiffness

Muscle Tone Improvement

• Ambulation improves muscle tone.

• Resting improves muscle tone.

• Sitting for long periods improves muscle tone.

• Lifting heavy weights improves muscle tone.

Promoting circulation

• Exercise promotes circulation to prevent thrombus and embolus formation.

• Exercise decreases blood flow to the heart.

• Exercise has no effect on circulation.

• Exercise increases the risk of thrombus formation.

Airway Function Preservation

• Ambulation preserves airway function.

• Sedentary behavior enhances airway function.

• Deep breathing exercises are unnecessary for airway function.

• Lying down improves airway function.
