| Abstract | This report presents a total of 17 traditional and 5 new head and facial dimensions from a random composite U.S. female and male civilian population measured over a period of 30 years. The 5 new measurements, identified to describe specific anatomical relationships of the face, can have a direct influence on equipment design concepts. The survey population includes 376 (195 females and 172 males) adult subjects in the age range of 17 through 69 years representing a predominantly high ratio of Caucasian subjects to other ethnic origin subjects. The data summary format is specifically intended for basic design concept use. These dimensions describe essential anatomical characteristics for use as basic design criteria in the development of protective equipment for the head and face. Because of the lack of standardization of anatomical and anthropometrical terminology, a thesaurus of selected anatomical and anthropometrical terms, specific to descriptive labels used in this report, is provided as a cross reference for anthropometrical dimensions. |
