The surface anatomy of a human hand and dimensional features like size, shape, etc., influence the functional aspects of hand uses. The anthropometric measurement of various hand dimensions can provide the fundamental data to support several ergonomically design of equipment/tool to improve work efficiency, comfort, and safety. Traditionally, anthropometric measurements for different dimensions in a standardized posture are time-consuming and costly. Hence, the objective of this paper was to compare the accuracy of various hand dimensions measured by using manual and ImageJ processing software methods. In the research 20 participants were selected randomly for measurement of 22 different hand dimensions by manual and 2D image processing methods. During the experiment stationary bench was used for taking a photograph of hand to maintain the predetermined distance for each participant. .. View More»
