Anthropometry

Use of human body dimensions and population data to design workplaces, tools and products.

Examples

01Using anthropometry, the engineer sets the work height of an adjustable bench between 85 and 115 cm to fit both small and tall operators.
02Before release, the new workstation is checked with anthropometry data for the 5th percentile woman and the 95th percentile man.
03After the redesign based on anthropometry, reaching distances fall below 50 cm and operators report less shoulder strain.
