Medical Conditions - Weight Bearing Joints

"Weight-bearing joints" are the various joints of the body that support the body while standing, walking, and carrying the weight of the body. The ankles, knees, and hips are the principal weight-bearing joints. The foot, pelvis, lower back, and spine joints also function as weight-bearing joints. Conditions like obesity and excessive weight increase the pressure on these joints, which can lead to wear and tear of the joints.

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I have not seen you in person. It is difficult to know how you are affected by spina bifida occulta. This condition does not usually cause asymmetrical weight bearing.
