  • biomechanic effect of backpack on shoulders

    I am a student. I am interested in what research has been done on the
    effect of wearing a backpack or carrying a purse has on the shoulder
    girdle. Has there been any research which looks at the shear and
    compressive forces? What injuries have been associated with wearing a
    heavy backpack or purse? So far most of the literature has been on the
    effects on the low back, energy expenditure and gait during back pack
    use.
