BACK TO SCHOOL: BAC K PAC K S T R AT E G Y Aching backs and shoulders? Tingling arms? Weakened muscles? Stooped posture? Do you or your child have these symptoms after wearing a heavy backpack? Carrying too much weight or wearing it the wrong way can lead to pain and strain. Take these steps to avoid health problems: 1. A backpack should weigh no more than about 10% of body weight. A student weighing 100 pounds shouldn’t wear a loaded backpack heavier than about 10 pounds. 2. Load heaviest items closest to the back of the pack. 3. Make sure the items carried to school and brought home are necessary for the day’s activities. 4. Distribute weight evenly by using both straps. Wearing a pack on one shoulder can curve the spine, causing pain or discomfort. 5. Have well-padded shoulder straps. Pain and tingling in the neck, arms, and hands can occur when too much pressure is applied to shoulders and necks. 6. Adjust the shoulder straps so that the pack fits snugly against the back. A loose pack can pull one backwards and strain muscles. 7. The bottom of the pack should rest in the curve of the lower back. It should never rest more than four inches below the waistline.
