Criteria for the analysis of anatomical suitability for the design of industrial objects.

Abstract

When we interact with an object, we seldom detail what exactly in it, makes us feel more or less satisfied with its use. A good part of that interaction is resolved considering the human anatomy between in contact with the object. These modifications of the contact zones of the objects is known as Anatomical Adequacy. In practice design, anatomical adjustments are the responsibility of the designer, however, the research related to the subject, it is unsuccessful, having to search for information into other areas of study, such as biomechanics, physiology or anthropometry. The intentions of this research are to lay bases of anatomical studies for the Industrial Design of Products. The goal for the research is to characterize the analysis criteria of the Anatomical Adequacy for the design of industrial products; the achievement of which is the result of the use of methods and techniques such as analysis and synthesis, induction- deduction, documentary analysis and content analysis. Results was, a new definition of the term Anatomical Adequacy and a proposal of criteria for the Anatomical Adequacy studies for product design, separated into three structures: objectives, anatomical criteria and products criteria. The application of the research results, may be in the academic framework and in the design project activity. Discussion is submitting the relevance of the criteria described, and their integration into the Design process
