Graphic 3D ergonomic database in evaluation of virtual models of kitchen design/adaptation for needs of handicapped persons
The paper presents a concept for the utilisation of anthropometric and biomechanical graphic 3D database of a motorically handicapped person using a wheelchair for purposes of analysis and assessment of kitchen space design. Contemporary tendencies in kitchen design or adaptation for disabled persons or senior citizens were discussed. Methodological assumptions as well as a test station for measurements of reach of arms and forces for a male disabled person sitting in a wheelchair were presented.
