The Effect of Backpack Load on the Pelvic Kinematics of Normal Adolescents
نویسندگان
چکیده
The present study investigated the impact of backpack load carried on pelvic kinematics. 10 participants participated in this study. This included dynamic activities where the participant walked on a treadmill with 0%, 17% and 25% bodyweight (BW) loads using 2 backpack options (Ergonomically designed and conventional backpack). The subjects also completed 90 seconds of quiet standing. The results from this study showed significant differences in pelvic tilt kinematics with increased load of backpacks.

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to analyze the biomechanical alterations during unilateral backpack carriage in adolescents and to compare the kinematic parameters of the loaded and unloaded sides. METHODS Twenty adolescents (mean age: 13 ± 1.2 years) were assessed during walking with no backpack and with a backpack on one shoulder. The kinematic parameters of a gait at a self-selected sp...

Recommendations on backpack loading advice restricting the load to 10% of body weight and carrying the load high on the spine. The effects of increasing load (0%-5%-10%-15% of body weight) and changing the placement of the load on the spine, thoracic vs. lumbar placement, during standing and gait were analysed in 20 college-aged students by studying physiological, biomechanical and subjective d...

Background: Lumbar motion analysis is used as a clinical method in the diagnosis and treatment of low back pain (LBP). So far, no studies have shown if manipulating the sacroiliac joint (SIJ) will change spinal kinematics.Objective: The main objectives of this study were to investigate the effects of SIJ manipulation on the lumbar kinematics in subjects with innominate rotation and to compare l...

The aims of this pilot study were to determine whether the weight of a backpack, its position on the spine or time carried affected adolescents cervical and shoulder posture. Standing posture measured from the sagittal and frontal planes of 13 students was recorded photographically under several load carrying conditions. Cervical and shoulder position angles were calculated and compared. Resul...
