Grid Rules for a Residual Functional Capacity of Sedentary Work

Sedentary work involves lifting no more than 10 pounds at a time and occasionally lifting or carrying small objects 1/3 of the day.  Although a sedentary work is defined as one which involves sitting, occasional walking and standing is also necessary.
