Assisting with immobility or with mobility?

In a brochure for a medical supply provider who is advertising wheelchairs, canes & walkers, which is correct?

"We provide equipment to assist with patient immobility" OR "We provide equipment to assist with patient mobility".

I think it's obviously mobility - otherwise they'd be advertising patient restraints. What is your opinion and how would you explain it so the company employees would understand? Or am I mistaken?

You are correct. They want to improve their mobility so that is what you are assisting with. The final aim is, as you point out, mobility not imobility!
