“…Therefore, the results of the paper suggest that burn scars should have appropriate pressure applied on the basis of the medium scar height to avoid an increase in the size of scars and to stabilise burns. Furthermore, many experts point out a fact that placing the human body in different postures affects the measurement results because of the difference of a cross-section and a straight section [35,36]. In skin surface contractility and extensibility during body movements, each point has a different maximum pull.…”

The aim of this study was to assess the thickness of the scars on the left arm of a female third-degree burn patient through ultrasonic examination in order to investigate the use of 25-mm Hg pressure garments, which are a key treatment for burns. The patient was injured with third-degree burns more than 10 years ago. Sixteen scars were examined. The resulting Pearson correlation of the forearm and upper arm was 0.138 (weak correlation; R 2 =0.0191). Therefore, in this case, all data points fell on a straight line with a positive (upward) slope. This result indicated different thicknesses for the upper arm and forearm third-degree burn scars; this result displays different thickness for the upper arms and forearm the third degree burn scars; the scars did not spread evenly due to the loading capacity of different parts of body instead of the pressure by pressure garment.This paper provides accurate information to manufacturers, therapists, and tailors regarding measurements for pressure garments. The results suggest that burn scars should be subject to appropriate pressure on the basis of medium scar height to avoid increasing scars and to stabilise burns, validating the hypothesis that 25 mmHg is not the optimal pressure for female patients with third-degree burns on the left arm and that the optimal pressure should be based on the patient's burns and wound area. To our knowledge, this is the first study to correlate the thickness of third-degree burns through ultrasound scan.

“…For several years, studies of changes in measurements of the body in static and dynamic states have used anthropometric experiments. In general, objective methods have been used to define the proper amount of wearing ease by analyzing surface expansion and contraction during body movements (Wang et al, 2011). Many tools and techniques have been developed for anthropometry including manual tape measurements, and gypsum-replicated methods such as molding, and 3D body scanning (Table 1).…”

“…Three-dimensional body scanning is an affordable means of collecting information that can be used in anthropometric studies for custom fit patternmaking or size selection in mass customized garments (Ashdown et al, 2007). Previous studies using 3D body scanners have dealt with body shapes (Chen et al, 2010;Chen, 2011;Ashdown and Na, 2008), automatic measurements (Choi & Ashdown, 2011;Lee & Ashdown, 2005;Lu et al, 2008), volume and shape change measurements (Staker et al, 2009), surface area measurements (Lee et al, 2006), body modeling for virtual images (Dekker et al, 1999), garment fit (Ashdown et al, 2007;Lee et al, 2006;Nam et al, 2005;Song & Ashdown, 2010), flattening the body surface for garment patternmaking (Jeong et al, 2006;Yunchu & Weiyuan, 2007), and observing body surface changes when in motion (Bethke, 2005;Choi, 2011;Choi & Ashdown, 2011;Jung, 2005;Kim, 2008;Lee & Ashdown, 2005;Lu et al, 2010;Oh & Chun, 2008;Wang et al, 2011).…”

The purpose of this study was to analyze human upper body surface changes at the shoulder and back area. The body surface data were analyzed in terms of muscle and bone displacement in dynamic postures. Body surface data were collected with a 3D body scanner. The body surface was scanned at the static and four baseball batting postures. The body surface dimensions over the deltoids, scapulae and trapezius were measured. The results show that the vertical measurements of the deltoids increased by 20%. The horizontal measurements of the axilla of the back increased. The surface of the trapezius was elongated by over 10%, and the lower back musculature was elongated by about 50%. The results of this study showed that changes in back body surface caused by upper arm movements. It was influenced by the deltoid articulated with the humeri and the scapulae and trapezius. These body surface changes caused by muscle activities and ranges of motion can be used to design functional clothing.

: The goal of this study is to support the children's pants construction methods that secure clothing size and fit appropriateness through proposed improvements of denim pants construction method focusing on 4-year-old boys. Depths interview on the actual condition, measurements and calculations for positions and ease of the clothing points corresponding to the body points actually worn were conducted for 47 denim pants of nine boys. "Characteristics of the areas worn" and "physical characteristics of lower body" were analyzed, and improvements of 4-year-old children's denim pants construction method were proposed. As the results, the different figures in "characteristics of the areas worn" between the existing children's pants construction methods and children's actual wearing habits were found, and identification of distinct children's lower body from adults' supports that we should avoid tracing adults' methods without reasons. Children's pants construction method on basis of actual wearing should be devised to solve fit problems. Improvements of children's method were proposed such as ease of girth by different area worn, ease of "elastic waist girth", the difference between "elastic waist girth" and "pattern waist girth", and the difference between "pattern waist girth" and "pattern hip girth" as considerations of pants girth items, and appropriate position "clothing waist girth" "pants hip length" level, "pants crotch length" level, "clothing knee length" level, and "pants outside length" level for pattern making as considerations of clothing length items.
