Geriatric syndromes: immobility.

Since one of the characteristics of the elderly is the partial or complete loss of motor function, we have to visualize what the problems that befall this population in order to solve them.

If the loss is partial, and retain some ability to move, provide tools such as canes, walkers, grab bars and other equipment to facilitate normal life activities.

If it´s total, we will see the care taken to maintain the patient's skin integrity and what improvements to make.
