: Babywearing is a carrying system that ensures consistent contact and proper posture between the baby and carrying adult, in which there is no age or weight limit, and it is rarely inadvisable. Although babywearing has been growing in popularity and acclaim due to the comfort and emotional closeness between the carrier and baby, there are a number of physical and physiological consequences for the adult carrier when using an ergonomic babywearing device, such as muscular, postural, cardiorespiratory, and energy expenditure, and the perception of effort and pain. The objective is to explore the physical implications affecting the carrier, as well as the subjective perception of strain and pain. : A systematic review was carried out including articles up to December 2023 in the Web of Science (WOS), Medline, and SportDiscus databases. Studies dealing with ergonomic babywearing and the physical implications of babywearing were included; systematic reviews or case studies were excluded. : After applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, a total of 14 original articles were obtained for analysis. Methodological quality was rated using the Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Checklist for Analytical Cross-Sectional Studies with scores between 3 and 8 points. All articles included valid and reliable information on exposure, outcome measures, and results. : The studies reviewed cover different aspects, such as muscle activation and postural stability, as well as specific ergonomic design for particular groups. In general terms, it seems that the use of certain babywearing devices, especially back or front carry, seems to be the one that generates fewer physiological alterations in the carriers compared to carrying babies in arms or other positions.
婴儿背带是一种能确保婴儿与背抱者之间持续接触并保持正确姿势的携带系统，其没有年龄或体重限制，而且很少不合适。尽管由于背带使用者与婴儿之间的舒适感和情感亲密感，婴儿背带越来越受欢迎并广受赞誉，但使用符合人体工程学的婴儿背带时，成年背带使用者会出现一些身体和生理方面的影响，如肌肉、姿势、心肺功能和能量消耗，以及对努力程度和疼痛的感知。目的是探讨影响背带使用者的身体影响，以及对压力和疼痛的主观感受。
进行了一项系统综述，纳入了截至2023年12月发表在科学网（WOS）、Medline和SportDiscus数据库中的文章。纳入了涉及符合人体工程学的婴儿背带使用及其身体影响的研究；排除了系统综述或案例研究。
应用纳入和排除标准后，共获得14篇原始文章进行分析。使用乔安娜·布里格斯研究所分析性横断面研究关键评价清单对方法学质量进行评分，分数在3至8分之间。所有文章都包含了关于暴露、结局测量和结果的有效且可靠的信息。
所综述的研究涵盖了不同方面，如肌肉激活和姿势稳定性，以及针对特定群体的特定人体工程学设计。总体而言，与怀抱婴儿或其他姿势相比，使用某些婴儿背带设备，尤其是背部或正面背法，似乎对背带使用者产生的生理变化较少。
