Motor-Function Issues and Social Security Benefits
What You Need to Know
The Social Security Administration defines immobility as an extreme limitation of the ability to walk, where an individual’s impairment affects his or her ability to initiate, sustain, or complete activities without assistance.
The inability to walk is generally classified as having insufficient lower extremity functioning that usually permits independent movement without the use of a hand-held assistive device(s) that limits the functions of the upper extremities.
Regardless of what caused the impairment, functional loss for purposes mentioned above is defined as the inability to walk effectively or the inability to perform fine and gross movements effectively for a continued period of time for any reason, including pain associated with the impairment.
These inabilities must have lasted, or be expected to last for at least a year, and consideration of the ability to perform these activities must be exclusively from a physical standpoint.
