Abstract

BACKGROUND: There are many intrinsic and extrinsic factors that could affect posture. Two of them are backpack and heel height. The aim of this study is to investigate the immediate static effects on cervical and lumbosacral postural changes to determine the effects of heel and forefoot heights with backpack loading on both vertebral curves and posture.
