In this study, anthropometric data of 1007 Malaysian respondents’ physical body parts were measured manually using an anthropometer and recorded. It is assumed that the 1007 respondents represent the overall Malaysian population. The collected data were later analysed to determine the: mean, standard deviation, 5th and 95th percentile values of the respondents. Having done that the authors then starts designing the home furniture by using the AutoCAD software. In conclusion, the home furniture designed using Malaysian anthropometrics data would fit, appropriate, comfortable to at least 90% of the Malaysian population with respect to ergonomics, helps to reduce the risks of injuries and pains among Malaysian home furniture users. 2014-10-13T04:40:48Z 2014-10-13T04:40:48Z 2009-12-01 Article p.68-71 http://dspace.unimap.edu.my:80/dspace/handle/123456789/37386 en Proceeding of the National Symposium on Advancements in Ergonomics and Safety (ERGOSYM2009); Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP) |
