Girls with spinal disorders are 5 times more than boys
A bag of a pupil mustn’t weight more than 5 kg, warns orthopedic doctor, or else different disorders of spine will be inevitable. “And elementary school pupils mustn’t carry bags weighing more than 2-2.5 kg and what’s the most important- at any age the bag must have two shoulder straps so that the burden isn’t on one side in order not to cause spinal disorders,” advises Ararat Nazanyan, Head of the Clinic of Paediatric Traumatology and Orthopaedics of Muratsan Hospital Complex. The doctor regrets to say that there are many children with spinal disorders. By the way, girls are 5 times more than boys, “And mental workload of a child is added to all this and the child simply doesn’t want to go to school. The problem must be solved in time.” Ararat Nazanyan also stresses the importance of child’s shoes. As to food, the doctor advises not to overload the children in the morning, but also the children should not be hungry: dairy products are preferable.
