Mobility Impairment

A disability that affects movement, ranging from conditions requiring wheelchair use to limited fine motor control affecting device interaction. Mobility impairments may result from conditions like paraplegia, quadriplegia, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, arthritis, or limb differences. For digital accessibility, considerations include keyboard-only navigation, adequate click target sizes, avoiding time limits on interactions, and ensuring compatibility with switch controls and voice input. For physical spaces, accessible routes, ramps, elevators, and adequate maneuvering clearances are essential.
