Abstract

This study is an ergonomic study on the function of sleeves related with the expansion and contraction of the upper Extremity skin surface by various movememts. RESULTS : 1. According to the plane figure, a. The change of form is like fig. 3. b. In the changing rates of the expansion and contraction of skin surface by various movements, that of arm hole girth shows an extremely big discrepancy and that of Elbow Girth shows a relative low one. c. According to the rate of the expansion and contraction of each block, the inside of the upper arm area expands most in all the blocks measured. 2. According to the rate of expansion and contraction of skin surface by somatometry, inside lehgth of arm in M\sub 2\ and outside length of the upper arm in M\sub 4\ expand significantly8and also elbow girth in M\sub 6\, M\sub 7\, M\sub 8\ expands significantly.
