ارزیابی تأثیر کوله پشتی ارگونومیک طراحی شده بر فشار کف پا و راحتی درک شده توسط کاربران
Background: Inappropriate postures when carrying loads and heavy objects can result in physical problems and changes in the body's skeletal structure and pressure on the sole of the foot. Therefore, this study was to evaluate the foot plantar pressure and the perceived comfort of two new types of ergonomic and common backpacks. Methods: This study, which is semi- experimental, was performed on...
متن کاملDouble skin glass façade and its effect on saving energy
One of the most important methods of saving energy and providing indoor comfort conditions of buildings is the careful design of the façades. A “double skin glass façade” is optimally one of the best options that control the heat interaction between indoor and outdoor spaces. Two kinds of heating energy is usually transmitted through exterior envelope “conduction” and “radiation”. Double skin g...
متن کاملDesign of Innovative Channel Geometrical Configuration and Its Effect on Species Distribution
In this research, the impact of shoulder width and geometry of gas channel with different structures on proton exchange membrane (PEM) has been investigated using numerical method. 3D, non-isothermal was used with single straight channel geometrywhile maintaining the same boundary conditions and reaction area with addition of humidification for anode and cathode. Our study showed that an ellipt...
متن کاملThe Effects of Carrying a Single-Strap Bag Positioned Differently on Peak Vertical Ground Reaction Forces and Postural Stability: a Pilot Study
Aim: Single-strap bags cause asymmetric load-carrying and postural asymmetry. This study aimed to investigate the effects of a single-strap bag on peak vertical ground reaction forces (PVGRFs) and on postural stability when it is worn in different positions. Methods: 6 volunteer women were assessed in the Human Movement Laboratory. Force platforms were used to measure both the ground reaction f...

Background : Children are in their developing years and their bones and physical structure has not yet fully developed to a point of resiliency that can withstand stress, pressure, and a modicum of physical abuse and about 90% of students are carrying backpacks. Unsuitable backpacks cause shoulder pain, back pain, low back pain and skeletal malformation. Carrying backpacks heavier than 10% of...
