The effects of shoulder morphology on the distribution of shoulder pressure during load carriage
研究了69名参与者的肩部形态，将其分为四种类型，并测量了28人在背负15%体重背包时的肩部压力，发现肩部形态显著影响压力分布，为不同肩型人群的肩部损伤预防提供了理论依据。
To enhance the prevention of shoulder pressure injuries in various load-bearing populations, the effects of shoulder morphology on pressure distribution were investigated. In this study, 69 participants underwent three-dimensional scanning, and based on shoulder morphological characteristic indicators, they were classified into four shoulder types. From these, 28 participants were selected to have the pressure within shoulder regions measured using a pressure-sensing vest while carrying a backpack load equivalent to 15% of their body weight. The results indicated that variations in shoulder morphology significantly impact pressure distribution. The greater bumpiness of the shoulder surface contributed to pressure concentration at specific points, resulting in uneven pressure distribution. The enhanced fullness of the shoulder surface promoted even pressure dispersal across the area. This study provided a theoretical basis for developing more effective shoulder injury prevention and management strategies tailored to load-bearing populations with different shoulder types.
