0 supporting the weight of your body or a building:
A typically waddling gait can be observed, and women will often support themselves on furniture or rails to reduce weight-bearing.
The latter are more useful for obese patients, since they are not weight-bearing.
All had been referred with severe pelvic pain, exacerbated on weight-bearing and with onset less than twenty-four hours after delivery.
Their disadvantage is greater in weight-bearing activities such as walking and stair-climbing because women have a higher percentage of body fat.
These have a wide and deep forefoot and a moulded insole can be placed into this to relieve abnormal mechanics and patterns of weight-bearing.
At the time of the experiments reported here, the rats were two months old, and could perform alternating, weight-bearing hindlimb stepping on a physical treadmill.
In cases where weight-bearing is painful, elbow crutches and walking aids may be helpful.
In a second study from this group, weight-bearing exercise (intermittent jogging, as above) was compared with weight-training (dynamic lifting of weights with various muscle groups using 80% of maximum force).
