"In
a research study, middle school students exhibited a more
balanced posture using AirPacks, than using traditional packs.
Balanced posture leads to decreased muscle stress and strain.
The students also preferred the AirPacks to the traditional pack
they were carrying."

"Optimal
health begins at a very early age. It has been shown how much
damage a backpack can do to a developing spine. As a father and
a Chiropractic Physician, my children will use AirPacks
only."

found it significantly reduced the pressure on the shoulders and
lumbar spine compared to other ordinary packs."

"We
the undersigned, tested the AirPacks backpack against non air packs backpacks on July 27, 2000 using the "Pocket
Ergometer" as the test instrument. The "Pocket
Ergometer" is a training devise which detects muscle
functioning. It is used to train individuals about how to reduce
Repetitive Stress Injuries (RSI) by reducing muscle stress and
strain.
We
placed 18 lb.s of books in the non-AirPack backpacks then
placed these packs on test subjects. The Ergometer electrodes
were placed across the trapezius muscles. Several readings were
taken with the instrument. The same books were then placed in an
AirPacks backpack and again multiple readings were taken. The
results of this testing with 20 patients showed that significant
reduction in trapezius muscle function (less stress and strain)
was recorded when the AirPack backpacks were utilized."

"Initial
biomedical testing indicates that the AirPacks backpack, with
its innovative design and use of air, shifts the weight to the
lumbar and hip area. This reduces strain on the neck, shoulders
and back."

"I've
been recommending AirPacks to my patients. The AirPacks system
centers the weight, balances impact and provides superior
ergonomic support."

"The
design of these backpacks reduces compressional loading of the
acromio-clavicular joints to reduce the risk of impingement
problems and redistributes spinal loading to be primarily born
in the hips, resulting in significantly diminished back
strain."

you are doing is truly amazing."
