ANTHROPOMETRY OF COMMON WORKING POSITIONS.

Abstract

Twenty-six dimensions of the human body in various working positions (standing, bending, kneeling, squatting, supine, and sitting) were obtained by photography or by direct measurement. The purpose of the study was to provide the human engineer with anthropometric data of various missile worker's positions so that more adequate work stations can be designed. Each dimension is defined verbally and graphically; and the 5th, 25th, 50th, 75th, and 95th percentiles and other statistical data are presented. (Author)
