Abstract
As the most commonly used storage tool, backpack is one of the daily necessities for adults. The long-term incorrect bearing way and bearing behavior habit can cause harm to the adult’s neck, shoulder and other body parts. In this paper, adults are taken as research objects. Through questionnaires and in-depth interviews, characteristics and usage habits of adult backpacks are obtained, and the ergonomic experiment scenario of backpacks is determined. It lays the foundation for further experiments.
