APPLICATIONS OF ANTHROPOMETRY
ANTHROPOMETRY VS PRODUCTIVITY
INTRODUCTION
ANTHROPOMETRY Deals With the measurements of the dimensions and certain
other physical characteristics of the body such as volumes, centre of gravity
,inertial properties and masses of body segments. Anthropometrics is the
comparative study of human body measurements and properties. Ergonomics is the
science of making the work environment safer and more comfortable for workers
using design and anthropometric data.
STATIC dimensions are measurements taken when the body is in a fixed ( static)
position. These consist of :
SKELETAL DIMENSIONS ( between dimensions of joints)
CONTOUR DIMENSIONS (skin surface dimensions).
Body measurements vary as a function of age, sex and for different countries. Also
there are differences in anthropometrics of male and female…..
DYNAMIC DIMENSIONS are taken under conditions in which the body is
engaged in some physical activity.
A designer has used anthropometric data to decide the correct height of the
chair and the desk.
Health and Safety rules in industry also dictate how far the monitor should
be away from the user and the angle of the screen so that the user can see
the screen clearly when the muscles in their eyes are relaxed.
