Abstract

Research Objective: To evaluate the improvement of mobility through community-based rehabilitation (CBR) interventions for individuals with physical disabilities in Nghe An. Study Subjects and Methods: The study involved 285 individuals with physical disabilities aged 18 years and older, with mild and severe disabilities, from three communes/wards: Chau Binh, Dien Ngoc, and Hung Hoa in Nghe An, from June 2023 to December 2024. This community-based intervention study used a pre-post design without a control group, assessing changes in mobility at three time points: before, 6 months after, and 12 months after the intervention. Results: There was a significant improvement in the independence of mobility activities such as sitting, standing, and moving both indoors and outdoors after the intervention (p < 0.001). The proportion of individuals requiring assistance and dependence decreased significantly. Pain levels decreased, but gait did not change after 12 months. Conclusion: Community-based rehabilitation interventions have proven effective in improving the mobility of individuals with physical disabilities. This model should be maintained and expanded to enhance the quality of life for individuals with disabilities
