Two-dimensional manikins of children - models for design.
The paper discusses anthropometric research for design for children and youth. Two-dimensional dimensional manikins are one of the forms of presenting anthropometric data. Manikins of children aged 1-6 are the object of the paper. The set consists of eight plexiglass models scaled 1:5. The models were prepared with regard to 5th and 95th percentile values and two views - i e, side view when the figure is in the sagittal plane, and top view when the figure is in the transverse plane. the models are used in design and ergonomics assessment of products including equipment and furnishings earmarked for children.
