Health knowledge made personal
one reason for back pain in kids is because of the backpacks that kids are carrying to school. A child should have no more than 15% of his or her body weight that they are carrying around. So for example a child that weighs 100 pounds, should not be carrying a book bag that weighs more than 15 pounds. Studies have shown that kids carry 40% of their body weight- especially the younger ones (thats 40 pounds for child that is 100 pounds). That is why an ergonomic backpack is recommended. It makes sure that a child has good posture, and proper support- and that equals less lower back pain and neck pain. - nj
