Avrasya Hospital Orthopedics and Traumatology Specialist Operator Doctor Özgür Ortak gave suggestions and warnings regarding the selection of bags for children.
Kiss. Dr. The partner drew attention to the health problems that the wrong use of backpacks can cause in children and listed the details to consider when choosing a bag:
“Heavy bags cause joint and muscle pain
Overloaded bags cause undesirable muscle and bone pain in developing children at a young age. When children bend forward to lift a heavy bag, it causes hunchback.
Choosing the right backpack will reduce the damage
If the straps of the bag are filled with pads or viscoelastic material, it will not only carry the load more easily but also prevent irritation of the back and joints.
Bags should not be heavy
The weight of the bag should not be more than 15-18 percent of the weight of the children. “Children should not lean in the correct position with their backpacks on, but should bend their knees and stand up straight when they need to pick something up from a lower spot.”
