Abstract

Background. The use of backpacks that are not suitable both in terms of design, weight of the load, and how to use it can have a negative impact on students due to increased pressure on the spinal structure of adolescents during their growth period. Early detection (scoliosis screening) must be carried out to determine the long-term effects of using the wrong backpack so that treatment can be carried out as soon as possible to avoid the occurrence of more severe musculoskeletal disorders. Aim. Analyzing the relationship between the use of non-ergonomic backpacks on spinal abnormalities (scoliosis) in students Cilandak Barat 08 Elementary School South Jakarta. Method. Analytical quantitative research, by conducting a cross-sectional study simultaneously on individuals of a population at a time. Result. This research found there was no significant relationship between backpack characteristics and the incidence of scoliosis (p-value 1.000) and OR 1.261. It was found that on average the respondents experienced musculoskeletal complaints due to the use of backpacks with non-ergonomic characteristics about 64.8% and scoliosis prevalence about 20.5%. Conclusion. There is no relationship between the characteristics of the backpack with the incidence of scoliosis. The use of a non-ergonomic backpack can still be used by considering the recommended aspects while using it.

Abstract

Background: Wearing high heels (>2–2.5 cm) increases forefoot pain risk. Metatarsal pads are often used for pain relief, but their impact on gait parameters remains unclear. Purpose: To analyse the effect of metatarsal pads on spatiotemporal gait parameters in individuals with forefoot pain from high heels. Method: A one-sample pre-test post-test study was conducted with 30 participants (aged 18–20). Pain levels and gait parameters (velocity, step length, stride length, stance phase duration) were measured before and after 2 weeks of pad use. Result: Pain changes were inconsistent: 10 participants reported less pain, 9 had more pain, and 11 felt no difference, with no significant correlation (p>0.05). Gait parameters showed minor changes: increased velocity (+0.718 km/h), shorter step length (?14 mm), shorter stride length (?3 mm), and faster stance phase (?0.314 s). However, these changes were statistically insignificant (velocity: p=0.477; step length: p=0.758; stride length: p=0.489; stance phase: p=0.295). Conclusion: Metatarsal pads may reduce forefoot pain in some individuals but lack a consistent significant effect. While slight gait adjustments occurred, only velocity and stance phase duration showed potential influence, whereas step and stride length remained unaffected. Further research is needed to confirm clinical relevance.
