Backpackers3

We are interested in comparing walking upstairs with a backpack vs. without and how it affects the trunk segment, hip joint, and knee joint. We expect that there will be differences in the angles of the trunk segment, hip joint, and knee joint. We are interested in the answer to this question because we are both college age students who often have to walk upstairs with backpacks on.
