If older people have a hard time walking when they get older why don't they walk on all fours to take away the pressure from their legs (lemmy.ml)

Could this be a new thing that we all can look pass on, instead of criticizing and making a mockery out of old people when we see them walking on all four.

1- this requires far more strength on the arms than they have cultivated. (at least for those who indeed have trouble walking)

2- getting up gets harder as you get older, weaker, and less flexible
