According to the survey, the chances of overweight backpacks causing injuries to different parts of the body are: neck 57%, arms 20%, back 53% and shoulders 84%. They are usually prone to spine curvature, hunchback, headache, arthritis, upper back and neck. Muscle strain, numbness and tingling of the arm, etc. From a health point of view, the 綠斜孭袋 of a wide shoulder bag are often carried. In addition, the weight of the backpack should not be too large.

Backpack disease causes the backpack to be overweight and harmful to health. The backpack does not exceed 4.6 kg.

65% of people have backpacks weighing more than 3 kg, and the heaviest backpack is 8.8 kg, which is equivalent to carrying nearly 15 bottles of 600 ml Wudalianchi mineral water. Carrying a heavy burden day after day, many people don't realize how dangerous this "health bomb" is.

As the backpack is too heavy to cause damage to health, it is nothing new. Backpackers seem to be facing the threat of backpack disease. According to a survey in the United States, about 6000 children suffer back injuries every year. A survey study from the British Chiropractic Association found that the average weight of a British male backpack is 6.2 kg, and more than half of women are suffering from the pain caused by the backpack.

More than 70% of people have symptoms of shoulder or back pain and unequal height of the left and right shoulders due to the weight of the backpack. Once the "health bomb" of "backpack disease" explodes, it will have a certain impact on people's overall health.

The main symptoms

1. Sore neck and shoulder pain.

people who sit in front of a computer for a long time and carry a large bag are usually the most prominent people who suffer from shoulder and neck pain, numbness and weakness in the shoulders and hands, which can easily lead to pain. In addition, an overweight backpack will also cause long-term compression of the shoulder and back muscles, such as the trapezius and levator scapula, and cause chronic strain.

2. Spine curvature.

Humpback, scoliosis, lumbar disc herniation, spondyloarthritis, sciatic nerve pain, etc., may all be caused by a heavy backpack.

Long-term one-shoulder heavy bag will also damage the precious and important spine. As many women may already know, a heavy right shoulder can force the left shoulder to maintain balance. If you carry a large bag of about 5 kilograms on your left shoulder, the muscles on the right side of your spine have to generate 15-20 kilograms of force to maintain your body balance. This imbalance of muscle tissue force will pull the spine. Form bending, causing strain and inflammation. In addition, a too heavy bag can cause the intervertebral disc to sag, compress the nerves, and cause sciatica. This is because the human spine is like a tower crane. When one side bears a weight, the spine will naturally bend appropriately for balance, and the spine will bend over time.

3. The arm is numb.

Many women like to hold big and heavy bags, and old people also like to carry or hold full canvas bags in their hands when shopping for vegetables. The wrist is in the same posture for a long time or excessive use of wrist strength can cause carpal tunnel syndrome due to repeated chronic fatigue injuries.

4. Strains of hip and thigh joints.

Many people walk for a long time with bags weighing tens of kilograms. Experts say that heavy burden is a high-risk factor for knee wear. The heavier the backpack, the greater the pressure on the knee joints, the more likely it is to have joint problems, which will eventually lead to joint inflammation.
