Other Static Dimensions
- Chest Depth
- Head Length
- Interpupillary Distance
- Eye Height
- Hand Thickness
- Hand Length
- Foot Breadth
16
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

Other Dynamic/Functional Dimensions
- Prone length, height
- Squatting height
- Overhead reach
- Thumb-tip reach
- Standing forward reach
- Standing lateral reach

23
Other Muscle Power Data
- Prone position data
- Thumb / finger
- Leg, foot
- etc
24
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
25
Designing for Clearance
(Let the large person fit.)
Design for the Large Person Design for the Large Person
26
Designing for Reach
(Let the small person reach.)
Design for the Small Person
27
Design for Adjustability
(Let them both fit and reach.)
- Adjust
– Work place – Worker position – Workpiece – Tool (e.g.,
adjustable handles)
28
Other Design
Design for the Average Person
29
Design Principles
- Design for the large person (clearance)
- Design for the small person (reach)
- Design for the average person (other)
- Designing for adjustability
