altered sleep-wake pattern
increase risk for depression
risk for learned helplessness
16. Effects of mobility psychological well-being: energy, vitality, general well-being

17. Range of Motion (ROM): maximum movement
18. Active Range of Motion (AROM): Independent joint movement
19. passive range of motion (PROM): dependent joint movement
20. body mechanics: describes how we use our body: body alignment, coordination, balance, joint mobility
21. body alignment and posture: places the spine in a neutral (resting) position
allows the bones to be aligned, reduces stress and fatigue, and muscles, joints, and ligaments can work efficiently.
22. Causes of poor posture: -accidents, traumas and falls
-careless sitting, standing and sleeping
-excessive weight
-foot problems or improper shoes
