The impact of backpack loads on school children: A critical narrative review
Background: Backpack loads of school students during school days have been suggested to
range from 10% to as high as 25% of their body weight and may have a negative impact on …

Which biomechanical models are currently used in standing posture analysis?
Summary In 1995, David Winter concluded that postural analysis of upright stance was often
restricted to studying the trajectory of the center of pressure (CoP). However, postural control …
