Title Design parameters for video display terminal workstations
Bibliographic information 1983, Vol.14, No.3, p.131-136. 2 ref.
Abstract Civilian body dimensions for men and women aged 20 to 60 years in the United States were analysed to determine minimum and maximum equipment dimensions or adjustment ranges for video display terminal workstations. Values are given for leg room height, width and depth, seat height, support surface height, and eye height above seat. The approach presented is generally useable but specific parameters are applicable only to American and European body dimensions.
