Determination of the normal horizontal working area: a new model and method
Article Abstract:
An extended version of Squires' concept proved versatile in ascertaining the normal horizontal working area within which hand movements are made with normal energy loss. Parametric equations obtained through this methodology provided precise estimates of working area curves on both sides of the body median. Among other details, this strategy reveals the prevalence of negative correlations among relevant anthropometric variables.

Normal horizontal working area: The concept of inner boundary
Article Abstract:
The physical dimensions of the workplace are important in industrial workstation design, as even small changes can impact worker productivity and occupational health and safety. A new model has been developed to describe the inner boundary of the normal horizontal working area and to determine the normal horizontal working areas. The generalized and proposed models were then used to compare the normal horizontal working areas.
