Concepts

  • Populations (of individuals from whom data is obtained / for whom

it is intended)

General

By age

By gender

By occupation

By other criteria

  • Samples

Stratified

Random

Exhaustive/complete

  • Anthropometric Data
  • Data Tabulation

– Percentile – Distribution Parameters – Exhaustive Lists

Dynamic Dimensions: Types of Movement

  • Flexion - Bending
  • Extension - Extending, straightening
  • Adduction - Movement toward midline
  • Abduction - Movement away from midline
  • Lateral rotation - Rotation outward
  • Medial rotation - Rotation inward
  • Pronation - Rotation downward
  • Supination - Rotation upward

Use of Anthropometric Data

  • Determine relevant dimension / parameter
  • Define user population
  • Select range of users to be accommodated/excluded
  • Extract data from appropriate source
  • Apply correction factors (for clothing, personal

equipment)

  • Apply dimension to design

Design for Adjustability

(Let them both fit and reach.)

  • Adjust

– Work place – Worker position – Workpiece – Tool (e.g.,

adjustable handles)

Design Principles

  • Design for the large person (clearance)
  • Design for the small person (reach)
  • Design for the average person (other)
  • Designing for adjustability
