Mobility aid is a device designed to assist walking or otherwise improve the mobility of people with a mobility impairment. There are various walking aids which can help people with impaired ability to walk and wheelchairs or mobility scooters for more severe disability or longer journeys which would otherwise be undertaken on foot.

They may include conditions such as spinal cord injury, paralysis, cerebral palsy, severe forms of arthritis, polio/post-polio, spinal bifida, orthopedic injury, or amputation, later stages of AIDS, stroke, and muscular dystrophy. Some students may have invisible disabilities that include pulmonary/respiratory disorders, cardiac conditions, epilepsy, cystic fibrosis, multiple sclerosis, Fibromyalgia and other limiting conditions.
