Note
A plural that exists only because mobility can also be counted. Used uncountably, as in a patient's mobility or the mobility of a gas, it takes no plural. The plural appears when kinds are set side by side, such as social mobility between classes or occupations, spatial mobility, or virtual mobility. In the social sciences it names these distinct types of movement rather than one abstract quality.
