Anthrotech Offers Study on Human Dimensions to Create Better Fitting Products and Working Environments.DAYTON, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 18, 1999-- Industrial designers, researchers, human factors professionals and other ergonomic ergonomic - Concerning ergonomics or exhibitting good ergonimics. specialists can participate in a three day seminar, "The Essentials of Anthropometry anthropometry (ănthrəpŏm`ətrē), technique of measuring the human body in terms of dimensions, proportions, and ratios such as those provided by the cephalic index. ," offered by Anthrotech, a leader in providing human dimensions for design solutions. The seminar takes place October 19-21 in Yellow Springs, OH, just northeast of Dayton. The course, offering classroom instruction on human anatomy Human anatomy is primarily the scientific study of the morphology of the adult human body.[1] It is subdivided into gross anatomy and microscopic anatomy.[1] and sizing, will be led by Anthrotech president, Dr. Bruce Bradtmiller, one of the nation's most respected authorities in the application of human dimensions data to sizing and design. "One size does not fit all," explains Dr. Bradtmiller. "Few people realize how anthropometry affects their daily lives, but every time you climb into your auto or slip on a pair of jeans or fasten your child into a safety seat, you're experiencing the real-life application of human dimension measurement. Anthrotech is a leader in the field, and every time we offer this course, we fill the classroom with professionals from all walks of life -- from industrial engineering to ergonomics ergonomics, the engineering science concerned with the physical and psychological relationship between machines and the people who use them. The ergonomicist takes an empirical approach to the study of human-machine interactions. ." "The Essentials of Anthropometry" will answer questions about anatomy, variability and diversity, sampling strategies, anthorpometric statistics, and data applications. The program provides hands-on practice in handling and measuring human subjects, as well as participating in a 3D scanner demonstration.
