At the start of the new school year, orthopedic doctors talk about the skeletal injuries that can happen to children from the heavy weight of bags.

In an interview for Euronews Albania, orthopedic doctor Ilir Hasmuça says that the weight of books damages the spine.

Another tendency, mainly of high school students, is to hold the bag on one arm, which also creates a problem.

If we do not correct the behavior, the doctor says that the child may end up with surgical intervention.

Standing straight during the learning process but also when the children are preparing homework is equally important to avoid problems with the spine.
