Mobility Enhancement Techniques (MET) encompass various strategies aimed at improving movement, flexibility, and coordination in patients with physical limitations. These techniques include passive and active exercises, gait training, and balance improvement strategies, tailored to individual needs. Often used in physical medicine and rehabilitation, MET focuses on restoring natural movement patterns, which are critical for daily functioning. For patients with neurological or musculoskeletal conditions, MET involves hands-on manipulation, joint mobilization, and strength-building activities. By progressively enhancing mobility, MET not only improves physical functionality but also boosts patients’ confidence, encouraging independence and a more active lifestyle. This patient-centered approach helps reduce the risk of secondary complications associated with restricted mobility.
