reduced mobility
Difficulty getting around
Reduced mobility describes limited ability to move freely, whether from disability, injury, age, or temporary condition.
The phrase appears most often in accessibility contexts—airports offer assistance for passengers with reduced mobility, buildings provide accommodations.
It's a neutral, administrative term that covers everything from wheelchair users to someone on crutches after surgery.
