Abstract
In modern educational institutions, it has been standard practice for students to bring a sizable quantity of books and other materials to class with them, causing their backpacks to become overly heavy. Carrying large and heavy burdens every day to school in backpacks has been recognised as a risk factor for the onset of musculoskeletal problems in school students, but not limited to back pain, shoulder discomfort, and neck pain. It is critical for parents to get a greater understanding of this problem in order to stop the onset of comparable health difficulties in their children. Physical strain from improperly worn, fitted, or laden backpacks can produce a substantial forward tilt of the head and discomfort. The Float-Flex is a ground-breaking backpack system that combines ergonomic and suspension features to effectively alleviate the physical discomfort and strain that come with carrying heavy weights for students. This specialised backpack minimises back and shoulder strain by distributing weight evenly across the body, offering a special and useful feature for students of all levels. The Float-Flex is an innovative product that attempts to fundamentally alter how school students carry their stuff to schools without compromising their health.
