🎒 Research has shown that back pain increases with increasing backpack use in children.
✔️ Backpack carrying, particularly that favoring one side, results in shift of upper trunk and shoulder and cervical lordosis, which seems to increase back pain in school period and holidays.
🎒 Consider more than looks when choosing a backpack. An ill-fitting pack can cause back pain, muscle strain, or nerve impingement.
✔️ You want to have padded shoulder straps to avoid pressure on the nerves around the armpits.
🎒 Some backpacks have waist straps designed to stabilize the load. These should be used whenever possible.
✔️ The proper max weight for loaded backpacks should not exceed 15% of the child’s body weight. If the pack forces the carrier to bend forward, it is overloaded.
