CHARACTERIZING THE ANTHROPOMETRIC EXTREMES OF THE POPULATION

Equipment designers frequently choose 5 percentile female and 95 percentile male dimensions as design limits. However, in the more complex design problems which involve several body dimensions it is important also to consider the interactions or relationships between body dimensions. These have been investigated using data from an anthropometric survey, which was carried out by MIRA, in order to develop models which represent the extreme body sizes of the male and female population.
