AbstractINTRODUCTION/PURPOSE: To determine the effects of backpack mass on the forces exerted by the backpack on the carrier and on the distribution of these forces between the upper back (including shoulders) and lower back (sacrum and iliac crest).METHODS: Eleven male volunteers (mean age 22.7 SEM 1.1 yr) walked on a level treadmill at 1.34 m.s(-1) carrying a backpack loaded to three different masses (13.6, 27.2, and 40.8 kg).

The backpack's hip belt was connected to force transducers that measured the forces exerted on the lower back. gemgo backpackThe total force between the subject and backpack was determined from the backpack's mass and acceleration. irfu backpackForces on the upper back were calculated as total force minus the forces exerted on the lower back.gemgo backpackRESULTS: There was a significant effect of backpack mass on the vertical and anterior/posterior forces exerted on the upper and lower back, and on the total force exerted on the backpack center of mass. dye backpack gw2Regardless of mass, approximately 30% of the vertical force was borne by the lower back; fjallraven 13l backpack

the upper back and shoulders supported the remaining 70%; khufu backpackthis is based on data averaged across the stride. Dimensionless analysis revealed peak forces on the upper and lower back increased proportionately to backpack mass whereas the peak forces exerted on the backpack COM increased disproportionately.CONCLUSIONS: The backpack exerts consistent anterior force on the lower back, which likely contributes to the occurrence of low-back pain associated with load carriage. Approximately 30% of the vertical force generated by the backpack can be transferred to the lower back by using an external frame backpack with a hip belt.PMID: 15076788 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE] Publication TypesComparative StudyMeSH TermsAdultAlgorithmsBack Pain/physiopathology*Back Pain/prevention & controlHumansMaleProtective DevicesWeight-Bearing/physiology*Full Text SourcesLippincott Williams & WilkinsOvid Technologies, Inc.Other Literature SourcesCited by Patents in - The LensMedicalBack Pain - MedlinePlus Health Information
