Assisting with immobility or with mobility?
In a brochure for a medical supply provider who is advertising wheelchairs, canes & walkers, which is correct?
"We provide equipment to assist with patient immobility" OR "We provide equipment to assist with patient mobility".
I think it's obviously mobility - otherwise they'd be advertising patient restraints. What is your opinion and how would you explain it so the company employees would understand? Or am I mistaken?
