It's dangerous: Valentin Dikul told how school backpacks cripple our children.
School backpack is a greater danger to the health of our children. About this a few days before the start of the new school year, said Valentin Dikul.
The head of the medical rehabilitation center for diseases of the musculoskeletal system explained that this is overloaded with books and stationery satchel. If the school backpack is too heavy, it deforms the spine, even if the parents have chosen the best orthopedic satchel for their students.
All ills, according to Dikul, originate from the state of the spinal column. It is necessary to save his health in childhood, so that later there will be less problems. The task of parents - limit back pressure.
The danger lies in the fact that children with a backpack on their backs run, jump, and even tumble. The load on the spine in such conditions becomes ten times more.
The weight of the schoolbag must be constantly monitored. Ideally, it should be 10-15% of the child’s body weight.
If a schoolboy weighs 30 kilograms, it will be better if his satchel weighs 3 kilograms, the maximum allowable value is 4.5 kilograms, but with a maximum weight you should not run and jump.
If teachers do not pay attention to acceptable orthopedic standards, they give the child too much, they have to take a large number of books and notebooks to school, parents have existing weight restrictions must remind the class teacher. Perhaps it would be better to leave a textbook or a book on extracurricular reading in the classroom, and then the student will not have to carry extra kilos with him.
