sedentary
"Sedentary" will be correct in a medical or sociological context. This adjective can be used in phases like "sedentary patient", "elderly sedentary patient", or "sedentary occupation."

Что требовали от меня
Мне, когда я переводил отчеты для американцев, предложили описывать "малоподвижных" такими словами, как homebound and bedridden persons.
Малая подвижность в данном случае включает как невозможность выйти из дому в магазины, так и физическую неспособность, к примеру, постирать или приготовить пищу. Социальные работники при этом выполняют всю подобную работу.
Удачи!
Олег

Кстати, перевод сочетания предлагаю следующий: homecare services to homebound (and bedridden) clients.
И даже подозреваю, что это из отчета для той же организации.

Yes, I'm sure it's from a welfare report. The Country Director I worked for told me it should be translated that way.

slow or sluggish
I think, we should try to find the easiest ways of translation

: Easy, sure... but it needs to make sense in context and match the apparent register of the text being translated.

individuals with limited mobility
"Sedentary" might imply that they're just sitting around like bumps on a log because they want to. And in a given context that might be the correct interpretation. But maybe the emphasis here is that these individuals can't get about much under their own steam due to age, illness, or disability, just , in which case "limited mobility" might be what you need. And the fact that they're under someone's external care (be it medical or social) inclines me to this notion.

: homebound, bedridden and sedentary can all be appropriate depending on further context. But I particularly like your "bumps on a log" (smile)
