“…The prevalence of CNSNP is increasing, especially among younger people, due to the fast-paced nature of modern society and changes in living and working conditions 5 .

Most patients with neck pain will experience recurrence within 1–5 years, and one of the important reasons is the change in posture control 7 .…”

This new ergonomic backpack with additional anterior straps can help stabilize the backpack, preventing it from swinging or pulling the wearer backward, which can reduce the risk of falls and injuries.…”
