Abstract

 Background:Ergonomics is the science of designing the job to fit the worker, rather than physically forcing the worker’s body to fit the job [1]. Stature and hand and foot length plays role in development of various working places. Foot length plays important role while designing foot wear and stability.Moreover, there can be anthropometric variations in different geographical areas. Material and Method: 336 students were measured with 157 male and 179 female candidates. Result: Foot length with hand length is highly correlated with pearson correlation 0.77 for left side and 0.78 for right side. Conclusioin: Both hand length and foot length are linearly correlated with height of person. 

Key Words: Stature; Hand Length; Foot Length; Pearson Correlation; Ergonomics.
