Description

<p>In this report, we analyzed the standing posture when carrying a bag in order to examine the factors that affect the posture of young women. Following the current survey on bags, the types of bags are as follows. Backpack: Both shoulders, Shoulder bag: One shoulder (right/left), Diagonal (right/left), Tote bag: One shoulder (right/left), One arm (right/left). The total weight of the bags was 1.0kg, 3.5kg, and 6.0kg. We took photographs of 10 young women standing with and without a bag from the front and the side. And we analyzed the eight-angle items measured from the photographs. As a result, the inclination of the side items decreased when carrying a backpack on. Regardless of the types of bags, the shoulder was raised when carrying a bag on one shoulder, and when carrying a bag on one arm, the shoulder on the same side of the arm was lowered. The heavier the total weight, the higher the tendency. According to the results of the post-experiment questionnaires, when the subject held the 6.0kg-tote bag on one arm, the strap is cutting into their arm and the bag felt quite heavy. It was suggested that backpacks cause less burden (pain, etc.) than other bags.</p>
