Resumo: Objective: This study aimed to evaluate kinematic differences in children’s gait with and without a backpack. Materials and methods: The gait of four 9-year old children was analyzed with and without a backpack by means of biomechanical equipment. Backpack load employed was controlled. Gait evaluation included: steps, gait speed and angular variation of the knee. Results: Results showed that the backpack did not alter children’s gait. Conclusion: This study suggests that the recommended mass of the backpacks that should not exceed 10% of the body mass of the children is correct, since it did not cause any significant change in children’s gait.

Objetivo: Este estudo teve como objetivo verificar diferenças cinemáticas na marcha de crianças com e sem o uso de mochila. Materiais e métodos: Foi analisada a marcha de 4 crianças, todas com 9 anos de idade, com e sem o uso de mochila, utilizando-se de equipamentos de análise biomecânica. O percentual de carga da mochila utilizada pelos sujeitos do estudo foi controlado e foram analisados os parâmetros de tempo dos passos, a velocidade da marcha e a variação angular do joelho. Resultados: Os resultados mostraram não haver diferenças estatisticamente significativas do uso de mochila nos parâmetros de marcha avaliados da população desse estudo. Conclusão: Pode-se concluir que os resultados do presente estudo sugerem que a recomendação de que a massa das mochilas não ultrapasse o valor de 10% da massa corporal para crianças estudantes do ensino fundamental, parece confirmar-se como verdadeiro, pois não acarretou, de maneira geral, alterações significativas nos padrões cinemáticos testados neste estudo.
