Summary
This study looked at how carrying a backpack on one or both shoulders changes the pressure on the soles of the feet in 92 healthy adolescents. Researchers found that carrying a backpack on one shoulder increased the foot's contact with the ground, but the overall pressure intensity stayed the same. The takeaway: using both shoulder straps is best for healthy foot mechanics.
