“…During patient treatment, the group mean of the 50th percentile of the head flexion was 39.38. The increased risk of developing WMSD when the forward head flexion exceeds 20-308 during a prolonged period of time has been known for several decades (Bernard 1997, Kroemer and Grandjean 1997, Ariens et al 2001. The angular velocities for the head, back and upper arms were significantly lower and the differences between the 90th and the 10th percentiles smaller, compared with the other work tasks.…”

“…The range of the measured anthropometric measures Δh i for the central 90 % from Tab. 3 have been verified by the calculation using expressions (5) and (6) adopted from Kroemer and Grandjean [16], that combine centiles c, arithmetic mean i h and the standard deviation i h σ in the entire sample, for all the measured statical anthropometric measures from Table 1. Expressions (5) and (6) result in expression (7) for Δh i90.% as the calculated range of values of studied anthropometric measures in the central 90 % of respondents from the sample.…”

“…Thus, in designing new driver cabs, adapted to the entire population of N engine drivers in Croatia, the ranges of characteristic anthropometric measures for normal and maximal arm rach need to be recognized. Considered in the layout of the driver cab and transversal plane of the engine driver, according to the instruction by Kroemer and Grandjean [16] 5 % of the biggest and 5 % of the smallest persons (in body dimensions referred to in the analysis) need to be excluded, in order to include the centiles that are between 5 % and 95 %, thus for the approximately central 90 % from the randomly selected and sufficient sample of n respondents. In 1984 Taboršak defined the areas of normal and largest arm reach in three planes [17], according to Fig.…”

Original scientific paper Frequently used commands on the locomotive or railcar control panel need to be arranged mainly within the normal reach of the arm, using multi-purpose controllers for serving several important and frequently used functions by one hand, whenever possible. From the measured anthropometric measures in the central 90 % from the sufficient and random sample of 50 engine drivers the range of normal and maximal reach of arm has been defined using statistical methods for the entire population in Croatia. The ranges of statistical anthrompometric measures of the engine drivers are the constitutional factors from the group "human factor", and according to Fuller TCI model "task requirement -driver's capability" affect the difficulty of the task during driving. The correlation dependence of lumbar moment Ml on the index of mass BMI has been proven in the hypothetically most unfavourable statistical seating working position, and based on the really measured statistical anthropometric measures. Keywords: anthropometric measures; central 90 %; engine drivers; human factor; normal and maximal reach of arm; task difficultyAntropomjere bitne za dizajn upravljačke ploče u lokomotivi ili motornoj garnituri Izvorni znanstveni članak Često korištene komande na upravljačkoj ploči lokomotive ili motorne garniture potrebno je rasporediti pretežito unutar normalnog dosega ruku, uz korištenje višenamjenskih kontrolera za posluživanje više bitnih i često korištenih funkcija jednom rukom, kada god je to moguće. Iz izmjerenih antropomjera u središnjih 90 % od dovoljnog i slučajnog uzorka od 50 strojovođa statističkim metodama definiran je raspon normalnog i maksimalnog dosega ruku za cijelu populaciju u RH. Rasponi statičkih antropomjera strojovođa su konstitucijski čimbenici iz grupe "ljudskog faktora", a prema Fullerovom TCI modelu "zahtjev zadaće-sposobnost vozača" utječu na težinu zadaće tijekom vožnje. Dokazana je korelacijska ovisnost lumbalnog momenta Ml o indeksu tjelesne mase ITM u hipotetski najnepovoljnijem statičkom sjedećem radnom položaju, a na temelju stvarno izmjerenih statičkih antropomjera.Ključne riječi: antropomjere; ljudski faktor; normalni i maksimalni doseg ruku; središnjih 90 %; strojovođe; težina zadaće

The objective of this study is to investigate a perceived discomfort and cause of Korean elderly in various activities such as work and leisure as well as in daily activities. 120 subjects (30 female and 30 male for each age: the young and elderly) participated in the interview type of questionnaire. Each participant answered to 41 items of activities of daily living. The examination of each item was progressed with 3 steps: whether to do the activity or not, degree of activity discomfort, and the reasons or causes of discomfort. Borg's CR10 scale is used to measure the degree of discomfort of daily activities. As a result, there are differences for the proportion of performers between two age groups, except for essential activities such as individual maintenance and housekeeping. The elderly complained about their daily activities more than the young did, and the degree of discomfort of women was significantly larger than that of men with aging. There are seven items, the mean degree of discomfort of which is over three points for the elderly, and they showed significant difference between two age groups. It was the important reason that physical capacities such as muscle strength and suppleness are declined. The results showed the characteristics of Korean elderly in the whole daily activities. These will be used to understand various life styles of them and to propose a field or direction of study related to the aging.
