摘要: The experimental study was conducted to assess the comfort ranges for manual operation in standing position. Twenty healthy young people (10 males and 10 females) were recruited as subjects. With example of an index finger push-button operation, acceptable height (approximately 800–1200 mm) position determined by experiment. Specifically, five heights from 800 mm 1200 set up with step interval being 100 mm. In operating plane (workstation), 50 vertical horizontal spacing buttons arranged, respectively. regions test table can be obtained through statistical analysis forefinger operations all Thus, corresponding on other planes replicated. results yielded certain practical values mounting devices ergonomic design assessment.
