What outcome does incorporating coordination exercises aim to achieve in patients?

Incorporating coordination exercises primarily aims to enhance control of movements, which directly contributes to improved overall mobility. Coordination exercises focus on the ability to perform movements smoothly and efficiently, integrating various systems in the body such as muscular, neurological, and sensory systems. This improved control allows patients to navigate their environment more effectively, perform daily activities with greater ease, and reduce the risk of falls. By working on coordination, patients can also develop better proprioception, which is the awareness of body position and movement, further enhancing their mobility.

Improving overall mobility through coordination directly affects a patient's quality of life and functional independence, making it a key focus in rehabilitation and physical therapy practices. This approach is essential not just for athletes, but for anyone looking to regain or improve their mobility after injury or due to conditions affecting movement.
