“…An anterior shift in the centre of gravity of the head elicits the head and neck postural reflexes involving the vestibulocollic [21], cervicocollic [22] and cervical-facet mechanoreceptors. These respond to the forward head position of the postural stimulation by actively orienting the trunk's centre of gravity under the head's centre of gravity [23]. Increased trunk flexion with increasing load has been identified as adaptation to bring the centre of gravity of the body and backpack further forward to maintain balance [24].…”

Introduction: Backpack carriage is common among adults, schoolchildren and adolescents for daily transferring of personal belongings, laptops, books and stationeries to and from offices, colleges or schools. As the load of backpack is directly applied to the spine via the shoulder straps and external loading has been demonstrated to be associated with spinal disorders.Purpose of the study: is to find out the changes in head posture & shoulder by 2D method in collegiate student with backpack and side pack. Materials and Methods:105 subjects collegiate student were recruited to measure the head posture. Photograph of the cervicothoracic region were taken from side to measure craniovertebral angle and sagittal shoulder posture with loaded right side pack and left side pack. Results:Comparison between individuals with side pack and without any pack in craniovertebral angle and sagittal shoulder posture was done using pared sample t test and the result showed significant differences. When comparison was done between different pack the results showed significant between back pack & right side pack and back pack & left side pack. Conclusions:The subjects who were carrying load in side pack for prolonged past duration and presently 2 hours per day have decreased craniovertebral angle and produces forward head posture when compared with no pack and sagittal shoulder angle increases which produces rounded shoulder posture.

Objective: The purpose of this review was to evaluate the current body of literature on chiropractic treatment of idiopathic scoliosis against the 2014 consensus paper of the Society on Scoliosis Orthopedic and Rehabilitation Treatment (SOSORT) and the Scoliosis Research Society (SRS) Non-Operative Management Committee for outcome reporting in nonoperative treatments. Methods: A search of the PubMed and Index to Chiropractic Literature databases for studies published from January 2000 through February 2016 detailing specific treatments and outcomes for idiopathic scoliosis was conducted. Results: A total of 27 studies that discussed chiropractic scoliosis treatments were identified. Of these, there were 15 case reports, 10 case series, 1 prospective cohort, and 1 randomized clinical trial. Of the 27 studies, only 2 described their outcomes as recommended in the 2014 SOSORT and SRS Non-Operative Management Committee consensus paper. Conclusion: The 2014 SOSORT and SRS Non-Operative Committee consensus paper details the format and types of outcomes they collectively believe are the most important and relevant to the patient. Among the chiropractic studies located in this review, 2 described outcomes consistent with how SOSORT recommends they be reported. Given that these consensus papers form the basis for nonoperative treatment recommendations and outcome reporting, future chiropractic studies should seek to report their outcomes as recommended by these papers. This will allow for better interprofessional collaboration and methodologic comparison. (J Chiropr Med 2017;16:64-71)
