AbstractMovement impairment affects the independence and lifestyle of a significant number of people worldwide. A MDT approach towards the problem is needed for optimal restoration of mobility. Educating vulnerable people on preventive strategies and safe techniques after a fall is imperative. Use of appropriate orthosis, assistive technology, physiotherapy and surgical interventions should be timely and evidence based. Assessment of the patient is critical to ensure successful outcomes of technological interventions. Novel technologies such as targeted reinnervation prosthesis and implantable technologies, although at a very early stage in their development, have huge potential to help people with movement impairments due to disorders of neuromuscular control or limb loss.
