This webinar covers the basics of how to plan and execute an anthropometric survey, and ways to present the results. Both traditional methods (tape and caliper) and scan data collection are included, with an emphasis on data quality and database utility.
This webinar is hosted by IEA The Technical Committee on Anthropometry
Presenter:
Dr. Bruce Bradtmiller, Physical anthropologist, Senior Consulting Scientist Emeritus at Anthrotech.
Dr. Bradtmiller has designed, conducted, and directed numerous body size surveys and other anthropometric research projects. He has overseen the execution of major anthropometric surveys of US military services, as well as the nation’s law enforcement officers to better accommodate that population in its vehicular workspace. His leadership in overseeing surveys has included both traditional tape-and-caliper measurements as well as 3D surface scans.
He has worked on anthropometric accommodation for an array of products including respirators, eyewear, helmets, gloves, dress and functional clothing, chemical protective garments, implantable cardiac defibrillators, automotive lumbar supports, infant car seats, and breast pumps.
He is an appointed expert to the ISO Technical Committee 159 on Ergonomics, Subcommittee 3 on Anthropometry and Biomechanics, and the lead author of ISO standards on anthropometry. Dr. Bradtmiller received his Ph.D. and M.A. in anthropology from Northwestern University and his B.A. in Anthropology and French from Indiana University.
