ISE 311: Ergonomics Work Measurement Anthropometry Laboratory (Final Report Due: Friday, February 6, 2009) Purpose: Through this lab, you should gain an understanding of how anthropometric data is collected and analyzed. You will also practice using anthropometric measures to evaluate the design of a device. Equipment: Large anthropometer, yardstick, or tape measure (Optional) Pencil, pen, or small ruler (Optional) Digital camera Data sheet (attached) Procedure: This lab is to be completed in groups of 2-4 people. In part A, your group will gather data on two common anthropometric measures. In part B, you will evaluate the design of a common everyday device from an anthropometric perspective. Part A – Gathering and analyzing anthropometric data You will be measuring the elbow-fingertip distance and forward reach of a minimum of 10 adults selected at random. Try to get a mixture of men and women for your measurements and make sure they have not already volunteered for someone else. Record the name of the subject (to insure no duplicate measures) and indicate whether the subject is male or female on the data sheet. To measure the forearm length, have the subject stand with his/her arm bent perpendicular to the body and fingers straight. The little finger should be parallel to the floor. Measure the distance from the elbow to the end of the middle finger. This is the elbow-fingertip distance. Record this measurement on the data sheet. (Note: when using a yardstick or tape measure it may be easier to measure this distance using a pencil, pen, or small ruler held against the back of the elbow to define the endpoint.) Next, have the subject stand with arm stretched out in front but not overextended (that is, the shoulder should remain straight and square with the body). Again, the little finger should be parallel to the floor. Measure the distance from the shoulder (just behind where the arm meets the shoulder) to the tip of the thumb. This
