Validation of an instrumented dummy to assess mechanical aspects of discomfort during load carriage.
Due to the increasing load in backpacks and other load carriage systems over the last decades, load carriage system designs have to be adapted accordingly to minimize discomfort and to reduce the risk of injury. As subject studies are labor-intensive and include further challenges such as intra-subj...
