Subject: BIBLIOGRAPHY: Backpack Injuries Revisited: Some Selected
Citations of Recent Vintage
Some years ago I posted a message about backpacks and back injuries that
had a few citations to published articles on this topic. I have been
asked if there is anything out there more recently published on this
subject. Actually there is a good deal that has been published regarding
this issue and these articles have been selected to be present in this
update of my earlier post.
