When we use the term 'biomechanical functionality', we are talking about the quality of movement of the human structure and how well it is able to serve the purpose required of it.
For mobility, a person requires their body to have strength, balance and flexibility. The loss of any one of these qualities will restrict a person's ability to be mobile without assistance and, therefore, it will restrict their independence.
