Space requirements for accommodating wheeled mobility devices and their users in the built environment are key components of standards for accessible design. These requirements typically include dimensions for clear floor areas, maneuvering clearances, seat and knee clearance heights, as well as some reference dimensions on wheeled mobility device sizes. Recent research from four countries was ...

The human hand is a complex structure that performs various functions for activities of daily living and occupations. This paper presents a literature review on the methodologies used to evaluate hand functions from a biomechanics standpoint, including anthropometry, kinematics, kinetics, and electromyography (EMG). Anthropometry describes the dimensions and measurements of the hand. Kinematics...

Methodology: Cross sectional study was carried out among children of 6-15 years age group residing in field practice area of urban health training centre (UHTC) of a medical college in Bhopal.270 children were enrolled in study 54 children were selected from each one of the five localities catered by UHTC. Data was collected with the interview technique followed by anthropometric measurements b...

Anthropometric quantities are widely used in epidemiologic research as possible confounders, risk factors, or outcomes. 3D laser-based body scans (BS) allow evaluation of dozens of quantities in short time with minimal physical contact between observers and probands. The aim of this study was to compare BS with classical manual anthropometric (CA) assessments with respect to feasibility, reliab...

Dept.of Anatomy, MM institute of Medical Sciences & Research Mullana (Ambala) Haryana. ABSTRACT: The study is aimed at modeling the stature on the basis of cephalo-facial dimensions. The study was conducted in Department of Anatomy, MM institute of medical sciences & research, Mullana (Ambala), on 800 Haryanvi adults comprising of 400 males and 400 females. Prior informed written consent was ob...

The objective of this paper is to present our method of predicting and simulating visually realistic and dynamically consistent human stair-climbing motion. The digital human is modeled as a 55-degrees of freedom branched mechanical system with associated human anthropometry-based link lengths, mass moments of inertia, and centers of gravity. The joint angle profiles are determined using a B-sp...

Objective: current study aimed to determine the effect anthropometry physical activities sport learning interest elementary school students. Methods: cross-sectional survey research design was applied this with 137 students from two Islamic schools Pringsewu regency, Lampung as samp...

This paper describes a public-domain database of high-spatial-resolution head-related transfer functions measured at the U. C. Davis CIPIC Interface Laboratory. Release 1.0 includes head-related impulse responses for 45 subjects at 25 different azimuths and 50 different elevations (1250 directions) at approximately 5 angular increments. In addition, the database contains anthropometric measurem...
