Principles and practice of anthropometrics There are a few situations in which it is possible to design a product or workstation for a single user: bespoke tailoring, haute couture, the customized seats used by racing drivers, and the workstations of astronauts are examples. These are all essentially luxury goods. For a very small number of especially unfortunate individuals, the ‘luxury’ of custom design becomes a necessity. The physical characteristics of the very severely disabled are so diverse that aids to mobility and independence must often be made for the individual concerned. But in the very great majority of real-world design problems, our concern will be with a population of users.

We all acknowledge the necessity of manufacturing garments in a range of sizes, but would it also be true to say that chairs and tables, for example, should be supplied in a range of sizes as well? The answer is ‘only to a limited extent’. We do not expect adults and children to use the same-sized writing desks in their offices and schools; although they seem to cope perfectly well with the same dining table at home. We commonly supply typists with adjustable chairs; but their desks are usually of fixed height. Obviously enough, we are prepared to accept a less accurate fit from a table and chair than from a shirt and trousers. What is rather less obvious is how we should choose the best compromise dimensions for equipment to be employed by a range of users, and at what point we should conclude that adjustability is essential

In order to optimize such decisions we require three types of information:
(i) the anthropometric characteristics of the user population;
(ii) the ways in which these characteristics might impose constraints upon the design;
(iii) the criteria that define an effective match between the product and the user

Before discussing these matters further we shall need to establish some of the mathematical foundations upon which the applied science of anthropometrics rests. In the section that follows I have endeavored to do this with the minimum possible recourse to the use of mathematical equations and formulae. The reader who requires a more detailed mathematical treatment of the subject is referred to the Appendix.
