A comparative study of the effectiveness of photogrammetric versus manual anthropometric measurements.

Background: The accurate measurement of the human body is essential when it comes to designing agricultural tools and equipment that can effectively accommodate and interact with individuals when performing a task. The traditional method for measuring an individual's body measurements is highly complex and requires two or more skilled individuals and reliable measurement tools. Finding a new approach that is speedier, more precise, and less expensive than current methods is therefore necessary.

Isometric push and pull strengths of agricultural workers from Northeast India.

Background: In agricultural farming operations, the incompatibility between operators' physical capability and labor demands in the operation of tools and equipment results in a decreased performance, productivity, and safety related measures.

Objective: The aim of this study was to collect a biomechanical database of push/pull strengths for initiating the development of a human-centered design of equipment that is not available for the intended user group, i.e.
