Abstract |
|
This study focuses on various parameters used to study and analyse dimensions of sedentary workstation using anthropometric data analysis. The paper tries to find the reachability and clearance of Indian subjects at work. The aim is find out these dimensions so that a workstation could be made according to the 95 percentile reach dimension and 5 percent clearance dimension. The analysis of the relevant anthropometric measures such as, popliteal height, buttock-popliteal length, stature and hip breadth shows that these are important factors in the design of the workstation furniture. The aim of the workstation analysis was to obtain maximum postural efficiency, bearing in mind environmental, manufacturing and marketing constraints. |
