RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: Evaluate the effect of educational sessions in weight, model and mode of school backpack transport. METHOD: Study of a series of cases with 99 children from seven to ten years of age in a private elementary school in São Paulo. Measured in the evaluation was the weight of the subject (Kg) and backpack (Kg) and type and mode of transport for filming pre and post intervention. They were submitted to an educational session that consisted of orientations on spine and practical use of correct posture; parents and teachers were also guided. The subjects received reinforcement for 3 months. To analyze the final data, it was used two-proportion equality statistic tests and Wilcoxon. The significance level used on the tests was 0,05 (5%). RESULTS: Backpack type modified for model two straps (p = 0.046), mode of transport for bilateral shoulder (p = 0.047). Absolute weight of the backpacks diminished 2.66Kg (p <0.001) and relative weight diminished 7% (p <0.001). In adaptation per category, the number of subjects of the appropriate and acceptable groups increased while having a reduction in the inadequate group (p <0,001). CONCLUSION: Educational sessions modified weight, type and mode of transport of the backpacks among the schoolchildren.
