Code list aiming to identify individuals consulting complaining of mobility impairment.
Methodology
Identified from intial search terms outside of OpenCodelists: "mobility" "ambulation" "walk" "gait" ambulate" "mobile" "unsteady" "off legs" balance" "postural sway"
Clearly irrelevant codes excluded (exclusions reviewed by a second clinician)
Candidate codelist uploaded to OpenCodelists for review of candidate codes.
Dizziness and balance related mobility issues excluded due to inclusion on dizziness specific code list.

Codelists are developed by a broad community of users for individual study purposes, which
may or may not meet the needs of other studies. They should not be thought of as universal
definitions of a particular condition.
We don't offer any guarantees about what they do or don't identify. Users should carefully
check that any codelist meets their needs, and seek clinical input where appropriate.
