Centro de Documentacion de Fundación MAPFRE - Analysis of the facial measurements of Korean Air Force pilots for oxygen mask design

Notas: Sumario: This study measured the facial dimensions of Korean Air Force (KAF) pilots, to design a pilot oxygen mask, and compared them with those of Korean civilians and US Air Force (USAF) personnel. Twenty-two facial dimensions were measured for 278 KAF male pilots (KMP) and 58 KAF female pilots and cadets (KFP) using an anthropometer and a three-dimensional scanner. The KMP face measurements were found to be significantly larger (mean difference, = 0.726.5 mm) and less varied (ratio of SDs = 0.290.82) than those of Korean male civilians. The average face length, lip width and nasal root breadth of the KMP were significantly longer ( = 4.7 mm), narrower ( = - 2.4 mm), and wider ( = 5.2 mm), respectively, than those of USAF male personnel. Lastly, the KMP face measurements were significantly larger ( = 1.826.1 mm) than those of the KFP.Registros relacionados: En: Ergonomics : the international journal of research and practice in human factors and ergonomics. - Oxon [United Kingdom] : Taylor & Francis, 2010- = ISSN 0014-0139. - 02/09/2013 Volumen 56 Número 9 - septiembre 2013 Otras clasificaciones: 875
