Question:
Patients often struggle with physical therapy after hip replacement surgery. Let’s say a patient’s activity was reduced to 700 steps/day, but he or she gained weight, increasing his or her weight by 30%. Assume that the peak stress on the joint scales proportionately with patient weight. How long will the joint last now? (Note: I may have exaggerated these numbers a little bit for this problem, but the general trend exists in real life.)
