Comment on Evolution: 🖕
burntbacon@discuss.tchncs.de 22 hours agoOne of the typical bits of advice for elderly folks walking around is a five pound limit on carried items, so five kilos is probably going to affect things more. Poor mobility is a downward line though, not a sudden switch that is flipped, so there is a range of walking difficulties and I’m sure some of that range will be helped by a device like this.

Carried itens put strain along the sholders and entire spine, and contribute to a high center of gravity. Waist mounted items (like this tail) put strain on only the hips and legs, and in the most stable way. I’d only be worried if there was a particular problem with hips or legs.
