Özet
When examining the study titled “Differences in Walking and Running Parameters in Elementary School Students With and Without Backpacks” by Kusumoto et al. (2024), it becomes evident that this research makes a significant contribution to understanding the biomechanical effects of backpack use on the gait and running parameters of schoolaged children.1 By addressing the physical implications of Backpack Syndrome (BS), the study provides a robust methodological framework for assessing how carrying backpacks affects children’s health and movement dynamics. A key strength of the study lies in its use of validated measurement tools. The researchers employed highprecision inertial measurement units (IMUs) (Physilog5®, GaitUp, Switzerland), which contain a triaxial accelerometer (±16 g range) and a triaxial gyroscope (±1000°/s range) with a sampling frequency of 100 Hz to capture gait and running parameters, ensuring the reliability of the findings. Moreover, the application of two way ANOVA and generalized linear mixed models enhanced the statistical rigor, reinforcing the credibility of the results. These methodological choices align well with the study’s aim of providing a detailed biomechanical analysis.
