Anthropometric Analysis to Build Ergonomic Equipment

Abstract

Body dimensions such as hip breadth, knee height, and chest circumference are important measurements required to build items such as car seats and toilets. However, recent studies strongly point towards a questionable existence or absence of female data in the anthropometric database. Furthermore, many of these databases are dated or are derived from dated models. The objective of this study is to identify an ideal size designation for better fitting choices including both female and male populations for important everyday equipment such as toilet seats.
