Abstract

The present study investigated the effects of the moment arm length on balance and walking when carrying a backpack. In total, 30 normal adults without orthopedic and neurological injuries were assessed. For each subject, balance and gait were measured under three conditions: 1) the no backpack condition, 2) the general backpack condition, and 3) the decreased length of moment arm backpack condition. There were significant differences in the center of the pressure area and velocity between the three conditions, whereas there was no significant difference in the center of the pressure area and velocity according to the moment arm length. There were significant differences in double limb support time and walking velocity under the three conditions, and there was a significant difference only in double limb support time according to the moment arm length. The results of the present study showed that a change in the length of the moment arm can be helpful for walking when carrying a backpack.

백팩은 한쪽 어깨에 매는 가방에 비해 척추에 대칭적으로 무게분산이 가능하지만, 무게중심이 뒤쪽으로 이동하게 하여, 체간이 전방굴곡되는 자세 변형을 야기한다. 본 연구는 모멘트팔의 길이차이에 따른 가방 착용 시 균형과 보행에 미치는 영향에 대해 확인하였다. 정형외과적 손상 및 신경학적 손상이 없는 정상 성인 30명을 대상으로 하였다. 대상자는 1) 백팩 미 착용, 2) 일반적인 백팩, 3) 모멘트 길이를 감소시킨 백팩의 3가지 조건에서 각각 균형 및 보행을 측정하였다. 자세동요면적과 속도에서 백팩 미착용과, 일반적인 백팩, 특수 백팩의 3가지 조건에 따른 유의한 차이가 있었으나, 백팩의 모멘트팔의 길이에 따른 유의한 차이는 없었다. 양하지 지지기와 보행속도는 백팩 미착용과, 일반적인 백팩, 특수 백팩의 3가지 조건에서 유의한 차이가 있었으며, 양하지 지지기에서만 백팩의 모멘트팔의 길이에 따른 유의한 차이가 있었다. 본 연구의 결과를 통해 백팩 착용시 모멘트팔의 길이 변화가 보행에 도움이 될 수 있었다.
