Abstract(s)

The aim of this study is to assess postural changes in young female adults carrying a personal computer and some auxiliary material in a shoulder bag. Images have been recorded in the frontal and sagittal planes. After recording, the anatomical landmarks were manually digitized with appropriate software. Analyzing the data and comparing the two situations - with and without carrying a load can be registered significant differences in posture and normal gait.
