The wife (84 years old) mobilises independently inside the home and uses a wheelie walker when outside. Her mobility is affected by severe scoliosis, and she also lives with dementia, epilepsy, and depression.
The husband (92 years old) mobilises with a wheelie walker inside the home and requires a wheelchair outdoors or late at night if he is tired. His mobility is impacted by poor balance and instability on his feet, and he also suffers from dementia.
