This information is provided by the
Bilateral Weight Symmetry Test.
This is measured by standing a client on two separate scales and recording the weight on each leg.
A weight shift of 5 lbs. or more is significant.
Ideal daily walking = 10,000 steps/day = 5000 on each foot.
- In one day, 5000 steps x 5lbs. = ~25,000 lbs. (additionally loaded into one leg).
Walking increases loading by 1-3 times, so that 5lb. shift becomes 25,000 lbs. x 3 = ~75,000 lbs.
Multiply that by one week’s worth of walking = ~525,000 lbs.Multiply that by one year = ~27,300,000 lbs.
