Design of a measuring device for the establishment of anthropometric dimensions of the Ecuadorian hand in older adults

Abstract:

Product design requires a research base focused on the human factor to effectively contribute to the generation of new proposals. Ecuador has few anthropometric studies, and the existing tangible applications are based on anthropometric tables from other countries to fill this absence. This research work aims to support the collection of anthropometric data of the population of older adults (over 65 years) of the female gender. It was established a data compilation with the different foreign anthropometric studies that are related to the topic to describe essential requirements in the configuration of the device, then it was proceeded to design the device by using a 3D model with which a validation was made, besides the presentation of the device by an analysis of finite elements (studies of buckling, fall and fatigue).
