Effects of School Backpacks on Spine Biomechanics During Daily Activities: A Narrative Review of Literature.

abstract：:Thirty-six pilots (31 men, 5 women) were tested in a flight simulator on their ability to intercept a pathway depicted on a highway-in-the-sky (HITS) display. While intercepting and flying the pathway, pilots were required to watch for traffic outside the cockpit. Additionally, pilots were tested on their awareness of...
