Comparison of muscle activity in school students while carrying backpacks and trolley bags
CONCLUSIONS: Lifting a trolley bag depends on the slope of the walking surface and is more efficient on level ground, while carrying a backpack is more efficient when going up and down stairs. Since it is not practical to switch bags when encountering stairs in schools, a bag with a mixed model design incorporating features of both trolley and backpack may be more beneficial and practical for students to use. Students, parents, and teachers should be aware of the injury risks associated with carrying different types of bags.PMID:38552131 | DOI:10.3233/WOR-230628 (Source: Work)

The effect of age on musculoskeletal injury compensation costs in South Australian professional urban firefighters: A cohort study
CONCLUSIONS: Older firefighters miss more workdays when injured and are associated with increased claims costs, particularly those in the 60-70-year group. With an aging workforce, Fire Service organisations must implement appropriate management and prevention strategies to reduce the potential risks associated with an aging workforce.PMID:38552128 | DOI:10.3233/WOR-230133 (Source: Work)
