Abstract


Our society is gradually aging, the elderly product demand is gradually increasing. Enterprises during the design of the elderly must take full account of the physical characteristics of the elderly increases with age, the physiological status of the elderly will change significantly. In 2004, the Department of Industrial Engineering and Gamble Far East Inc. carried out jointly by the Chinese elderly behavioral simulation study, the purpose is to establish a computer model of the elderly, for future product design services. This article is part of the research results, the main content is the parameter of the measurement and analysis of the elderly body size, strength and joint activity. Performing the anthropometric before, we must first determine the parameters of the measuring method. In addition to force dynamometer, body size and range of motion have contact and non-contact measurement method. Contactless measurement method for the traditional ruler of measurements, non-contact measurement methods such as photogrammetry. The main advantages of the contact type measuring method is the measured, i.e. the resulting, the main advantage of the non-contact measuring method is rapid measurement process, the data can be a posteriori. This paper discusses the measurement of body size and range of motion error of the two methods, the final selection of body size measurement ruler measurement range of motion using photogrammetry. 113 were recruited in the Beijing area and measured more than 65 years of age (including 53 male and 60 female) elderly, collected 47 size parameters, three strength parameters and 18 joint activity parameters. Statistical processing the measurement results of gender, the mean value (M) is calculated for each parameter Standard Poor (SD), the coefficient of variation (CV) and percentiles. A number of comparative analysis of the data collected. The analysis found that: (1) the hips, waist, thigh circumference and width dimensions of the area there was little difference between elderly men and women; larger head size, limb size, shoulder size, and all of a high degree of size difference. (2) the elderly compared with older adults, tall and no significant changes in body weight will increase significantly; significant increase in the waist, hips, shoulder size will be significantly reduced. After the 65-year-old male height shrinkage, weight continues to drop; shoulder, waist and hip size did not change significantly; women have entered the age of 65 after changes in body size is not large, stabilized. (3) the Sino-Japanese elderly belong to the Mongoloid, but there is a greater difference in body size parameters. (4) elderly men and women between the power difference between men much larger than the female. Male 65 to 69 age group and 70 age group, the maximum back strength was no significant difference in the maximum grip strength and maximum leg strength significant difference; female maximum grip strength, back strength and leg strength was no significant difference.
