Not everyone can get around at 80 quite as well as they did at 30, although there are some exceptions.
For most people, however, mobility becomes difficult once they pass their seventies, and sometimes younger people have trouble as well. This trouble can be short-term from an accident, injury, or surgery, or it can be long-term, chronic, and debilitating.
