Here is a new invention to help you carry and run with your backpack comfortably with heavy loads! Thanks to an MBL (Marine Biological Laboratory) biomechanics expert, who has designed an ‘ergonomic backpack.’ These backpacks use rubber bands for reducing the effects of heavy loads on shoulders and joints!
The backpacks suspend loads with the help of bungee cords that reduces the energetic cost of carrying weight. For example, compared to a traditional backpack, a user of this new backpack can carry 12 more pounds in the suspended backpack.
Thus, this new suspended backpack could help one reduce his risk of orthopedic and muscular injuries, especially for children, emergency workers, and others who use backpacks for carrying loads.
