Children with abnormal body weight dealing with the load of school backpack—is there a need to modify WHO recommendations? A cross sectional study
Recommendations regarding the weight of school backpacks relative to a child's body weight worsen stabilometric parameters in children with increased body weight (overweight and obesity), which affects their postural stability. It is advisable to consider different percentage load values or implement systemic solutions for children with overweight and obesity.
