Re: OrthoTote™
As an Orthopedic
Surgeon, Mechanical Engineer and Pain Management Specialist, I
frequently treat patients with shoulder, neck and back pain caused
by carrying heavy shoulder baggage such as laptops, gym bags, camera
bags or carry on luggage.
I recently evaluated the OrthoTote™, a device
designed to augment the shoulder strap of most shoulder bags.
OrthoTote™ fits on the shoulder under the strap of the bag, and
creates a ramp, effectively redirecting the forces so that the bag
no longer has a tendency to fall off the shoulder, and so that the
vector forces direct the weight of the bag toward, rather than away
from the spine
OrthoTote™ also redistributes the
pressure over a broader area on the shoulder, thereby minimizing
muscle fatigue and trigger points. This allows the person using
OrthoTote™ to stand and walk in correct anatomical alignment, thereby
reducing or eliminating the occurrence of orthopedic
problems.
recommend OrthoTote™ as an inexpensive,
proactive approach to preventing orthopedic injuries to the
shoulder, neck and back for those who need to carry heavy objects on
their shoulders.
