Using Cartesian Coordinates a method was developed to determine the location of a point in space. This method allows the recording of three-dimensional relationships among anthropometric landmarks. The method facilitates the assessment of changes anthropometric dimensions brought about by actual working postures. “CC data” were recorded describing head positions and eye locations when subjects (n = 60) assumed various head postures while maintaining fixation of trunk, hands and feet. The results indicate the usefulness of the CC Measuring Method.
