Anthopometry

<h2>Anthropometry</h2>

<p>The aim is to incorporate structural and functional body dimensions and their interrelationships in the design of workstation layouts and equipment. The approach accounts for human variation.</p>

<h3>Decisions for design strategy - 3 options</h3>

<ol>

<li>the single standard size approach</li>

<li>the adjustable system design</li>

<li>make different sizes and/or versions of a system or equipment.</li>

</ol>

<p>It is usually more cost-effective to design one system to accommodate all personnel likely to use it. typical anthropometric design will account for range of 3rd-97th percentiles which fits 87% of the population. </p>

<p>Use Defence anthropometric standard references for  measurements (unless designing for a specific populations in which case use any specific reference for that population).</p>
