  3. 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 3

  15. Other Static Dimensions ● Chest Depth ● Head Length ● Interpupillary Distance ● Eye Height ● Hand Thickness ● Hand Length ● Foot Breadth 15

  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 16

  20. Other Dynamic/Functional Dimensions ● Prone length, height ● Squatting height ● Overhead reach ● Thumb-tip reach ● Standing forward reach ● Standing lateral reach 20

  23. Other Muscle Power Data ● Prone position data ● Thumb / finger ● Leg, foot ● etc 23

  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 24

  25. Designing for Clearance (Let the large person fit.) Design for the Large Person Design for the Large Person 25

  26. Designing for Reach (Let the small person reach.) Design for the Small Person 26

  27. Design for Adjustability (Let them both fit and reach.) ● Adjust – Work place – Worker position – Workpiece – Tool (e.g., adjustable handles) 27

  28. Other Design Design for the Average Person 28

  29. Design Principles ● Design for the large person (clearance) ● Design for the small person (reach) ● Design for the average person (other) ● Designing for adjustability 29
