Watch Bones Backpack Curve Due

Compared with a bag or shoulder bag, backpacks are more practical and have a greater capacity. However, backpacks are too heavy for the child instead cause back pain.

Backpack by far is heavy, and used correctly will not make your back muscles are tight and cause pain. In addition, the posture becomes poor child because the child had to turn back to offset the heavy bag.

"Heavy backpacks cause back pain and the child may lead to changes in the lumbar disc, which causes the curved bone," said Timothy B Neuschwander, MD, which specifically examined the effect on the child's backpack.

He said that most children, especially in the United States, with backpacks that weigh more than 10-20 percent of body weight. "37 percent of those aged 11-14 years reported experiencing back pain. The majority due to a backpack," said Nueschawander.

In tests using an MRI to see the image of the spine in eight children, knows that the backbone of the child is changed along with the increasing burden carried backpacks. The burden was too heavy causing pressure on the girl who serves as a cushion between the vertebrae.

Note that the spine of children consists of 33 vertebrae, and between the vertebrae are discs that act as natural shock barrier. When the load is too heavy, the result could reverse the child's body. To compensate, the child lying in front of the hips or arch your back.

This condition can actually cause the weight of the child's spine is not natural. Due to the heavy load, the child may begin to feel pain in the shoulders, neck and back.

Backpack is too heavy also known to cause the bottom of the curved spine. Therefore suggested that children do not bring books or anything that weighs more than 10 percent of the child's weight.
