Wstęp: Chodzenie jest jedną z podstawowych czynności człowieka. Dbanie o prawidłowy wzorzec chodu jest ważne dla utrzymania prawidłowej postawy ciała i zapobiegania dysfunkcjom narządu ruchu. Ponieważ chodzenie często wiąże się z noszeniem ciężaru, celem badań była ocena zmian parametrów chodu i ruchu miednicy podczas chodu pod wpływem lekkiego obciążenia noszonego symetrycznie lub asymetrycznie w torbie lub plecaku.
Materiał i metody: Zbadano 11 kobiet i 15 mężczyzn w wieku od 19 do 25 lat. Wykorzystano urządzenie BTS G-Sensor. Badano podstawowe parametry chodu, współczynnik symetrii ruchu miednicy oraz zakres ruchu miednicy w każdej z trzech płaszczyzn. Test polegający na przejściu 30 metrów powtarzano czterokrotnie: podczas marszu bez obciążenia, z dodatkowym obciążeniem noszonym w plecaku na obu ramionach, w torbie na prawym ramieniu lub w torbie noszonej ukośnie na lewym ramieniu. Każdorazowo obciążenie wynosiło 10% masy ciała uczestnika.
Wyniki: Prędkość chodu, stosunek długości kroku do wysokości ciała, współczynnik symetrii chodu oraz prędkość napędu lewej i prawej stopy nie zmieniły się istotnie podczas chodzenia z obciążeniem wynoszącym 10% masy ciała, niezależnie od sposobu noszenia torby lub plecaka.
Wnioski: Choć noszenie lekkiej torby czy plecaka nie zmienia podstawowych parametrów chodu, to nawet tak małe obciążenie zmniejsza symetrię ruchu miednicy oraz zakres jej ruchu w płaszczyźnie czołowej i poprzecznej podczas chodu.

Introduction: Walking is one of the basic human activities. Taking care of the correct gait pattern is important for maintaining proper body posture and preventing dysfunctions of the musculoskeletal system. Since walking often involves carrying a load, the study aimed to evaluate changes in gait parameters and pelvic movement during gait under the influence of light loads carried symmetrically or asymmetrically in a bag or backpack.
Material and methods: The group of 11 women and 15 men aged between 19 and 25 were examined. The BTS G-Sensor device was used. The basic gait parameters were examined, as well as the symmetry coefficient of pelvic motion and the range of pelvic motion in each of the three planes. The test involving walking 30 meters was repeated four times: while walking without a load, with an additional load worn in a backpack on both shoulders, in a bag on the right shoulder, or in a bag worn diagonally on the left shoulder. Each time the load was equal to 10% of the participantʼs body weight.
Results: Walking speed, stride length to body height ratio, gait symmetry coefficient, and left and right foot propulsive speed did not change significantly during walking while carrying a load of 10% of body weight, regardless of the method of carrying a bag or backpack.
Conclusions: Although carrying a light bag or backpack does not change the basic gait parameters, even such a small load reduces the symmetry of pelvic movement and the range of pelvic motion in the frontal and transverse planes during walking.
