Shakshat Virtual Lab

2. Arm forward reaches, standing erect and forward bend

	Key to use the experiment
Content	The animated figure below gives a virtual experience of measuring selective reach points, heights from floor and length from vertical axis at heel point. These are normally measured by anthropometric board and anthropometric rod set also. as presented in the procedure section. This hands on trial provides a feel of measuring the dimensions. Click the top right/left arrow button to move the vertical branch of the anthropometric rod right/left to reach the anthropometric landmarks on the figure. By clicking the next/back button the user can go to next reach point and the previous reach point respectively. and When it attains the specific landmark, the name of the dimension appears on the figure itself and the values in different percentiles appear below the figure.
1. Stand Erect
2. Bend forward

	Forward arm reach in standing erect posture Users are expected to get the feel of the measuring process through this animated experiment and are advised to measure in real life practical situations using anthropometric rod sets and anthropometric boards. Moreover, the users may select their own specific landmarks as required. To refer measurements in other postures i.e. front bending forward and with one step forward, and the reach values in sidewise and backward postures the user can go to reference datasheets
