Q

help
designers
determine the range of human
measurements to accommodate
in a design.

They identify the
percentage of the population
that falls within a specific
measurement
range.

This
information aids in product
design, user selection for testing,
and precise specification of
dimensions.

They are the ones who can comfortably use the products or perform in the workplace
Average size people
26
a technique used a set of measurement grids, usually attached to the inside cor-ner of two vertical walls meeting at right angles.
Morant Technique
27
it may reference a small or large bone anthropometer. It has A graduated rod with a sliding edge at a right angle.
Anthropometer
28
to measure the diameter around which fingers can close.
Cone
29
Used to measure circumferences and curvatures
Tape
30
Can be used for short measurements such as finger thickness or finger length
Sliding Caliper
31
has two curved branches joint in a hinge. The distance between the tips of the two branches is read on a scale attached on the caliper.
Spreading Caliper
32
Measure skinfold thickness at multiple sites on the body in order to calculate body fat percentage.
Skinfold Caliper
33
record all three-dimensional (3D) aspects of the human body. They allow the recording of practically infinite numbers of measurements, taken from the recording at one’s convenience.
Photographs
34
uses template or casting
Shadow Technique
35
Used to measure the external diameter of the finger
Circular Holes
36
used as a distance-measuring device to determine the shape of irregular bodies.
Laser
37
A recognizable point on the body used as a reference for identifying and measuring other structures.
Anthropometric landmarks
38
help analyze body mechanics and design tools and workspaces that promote natural positioning and reduce strain.
Anthropometric Landmarks

Common Landmarks
Cranial Landmarks Thoracic Landmarks Abdominal Landmarks Pelvic Landmarks

Femur Epicondyle Heel (Calcaneus)
47
particularly from an anthropometric perspective, revolves around designing environments that align with human physical capabilities, promoting comfort and efficiency while minimizing strain.
Working Space
48
The space defined by the arm's movement from the elbow. This area is ideal for frequent tasks since it minimizes effort.
Primary Reach Envelope
49
Defined by the entire arm's movement from the shoulder, used for infrequent or light tasks due to reduced strength and stability
Secondary Reach Envelope
50
One-size-fits-all” is a common problem for industry and can be solved by providing ____________ at the workplace.
adjustability
51
Adjustability allows the workplace to fit a wide variety of workers. It demonstrates that adjustability can either be _______ or _______
Intrinsic or Extrinsic
52
It is the anatomical position of the body at rest.
Neutral Posture
53
When in neutral, muscles are in a resting length where _________ (muscles that are contracting and responsible for causing a certain joint motion)
agonist
54
(muscle that is relaxing or lengthening) muscles are balanced and relaxed.
antagonist
55
Fingers - curled (flexed) as if loosely holding an _____ cm cylinder or ball, and certainly not fully open (extended) or tightly closed (flexed)
8-10
56
Thumb - slightly curved (flexed) at the first metacarpal phalangeal joint (knuckle) and lightly touching the __________
index finger
57
Forearm - resting so the thumbs are pointed forward, and the palms are neither facing forward __________ or facing behind _________
(supination) (pronation)
58
Elbow - roughly bent at __________, and neither extended (arm straight) nor tightly flexed (bent)
90 degrees
59
Shoulder - upper arm hanging by the side of the body, and not raised forward _______, away from the side of the body ________, or across the body _________
(flexed) (abducted) (adducted)
60
-It is occurs when the body part is forced to support itself or hold an object still in space without motion -Occurs when performing activities in constrained workplaces or workplaces that simply do not fit the worker.
Static Work
61
Occurs when lungs cannot put enough oxygen into the bloodstream to keep up with the demands of your muscles fir energy
Anaerobic Metabolism
62
Delivers an ample supply of oxygen from the blood to the muscles
Aerobic System
63
Types of Anthropometric Data
1. Structural 2. Functional 3. Newtonian
64
are measurements of the bodily dimensions of subjects in fixed (static) positions.
Structural or Static Anthropometric Data
65
• collected to describe the movement of a body part with respect to a fixed reference point •useful for designing workspaces and positioning objects within them
Functional or Dynamic Anthropometric Data
66
• Data is used in the mechanical analysis of the loads on the human body. • required in those circumstances which we wish to apply Newton’s Laws of Motion to the human body
Newtonian Anthropometric Data
67
term we shall use to describe the particular subset of structural and functional data that is required to apply Newton’s Law of Motion to the analysis of human activity.
Newtonian Anthropometry
