Seat pressure distribution.

The field of seat pressure distribution has grown more and more important in the last five decades. Compared to the early phases of development, when only a description in principle was the goal, the quantitative differentiation of force induction and furthermore the evaluation of different supporting systems by these methods have gained importance over the years. Recent developments in the ergonomic field assign increasing importance to the seat pressure distribution measurement, because now the effects of the seat design on the human body are not viewed monolinearly, but the interaction of the body and the seat is also taken into consideration in order to assess functional consequences for the person using the seat and to give guidelines for producing adequate products for the human bodysphere.

[Tasks and methods of industrial anthropology. A review].

In the course of the industrialization of our work-environment, and in conjunction with the mass production of consumer goods, it has proven necessary to determine systematically the body-measurements important to this area, and to develop a constellation of technical aspects for their application. This has required the development of new measuring methods which go beyond those of classical anthropology; the acquisition of data concerning the distribution of body size and proportion in the various regional and social sub-populations; and finally, determination of the parameters of work-environment which are dictated by human form and function. Industrial anthropology has developed more and more in the past few years as a field of study whose object is the interaction between people and their technical environment.

[Standardization of anthropometric technics].

The problem of the unification of anthropometrical examination methods was solved for decades by Rudolf Martin in his standard work. The demands now placed on anthropometric examination techniques by industrial anthropology and legislators can no longer be met by Martin's system, and a demand for clearer and more exact measurement definitions and procedures has arisen. In year-long cooperation with industrial anthropologists the German Institute of Industrial Standards has established standards for body-measurements, measurement methods, and definitions in DIN 33 402. A reciprocal international standard (ISO) can be expected. The present paper presents the anthropometric part of the new standard which contains 56 body measurements.
