Mobility Impairment

Mobility Impairment — Reduced function of legs and feet leads to users depending on a wheelchair or artificial aid to walking. In addition to people who are born with a disability, this group includes a large number of people whose condition is caused by age or accidents.
Cannot walk without aid — It is important that these persons are given proper workstation ergonomics because problems in the legs often cause poor posture which put the person at risk of developing other problems such as back strain.
Mobility Impairments (all types)
Wheelchair user — An employee who uses wheelchairs often requires a modified workstation. The keyboard height, desktop and monitor height need to be adjusted to assure proper ergonomics.
