Abstract

Background and Objective: Hand anthropometric data can help us properly design Hand Tools for better efficiency and less fatigue in individuals. This study aimed to measure and analyze hand anthropometric data of Iranian Farmers in order to determine the characteristics of Farmers' hands separately for each ethnicity so that they can be used to design Hand Tools and working stations. This study measured 8 dimensions to design the appropriate Hand Tools in Iranian Farmers. Materials and Methods: This study measured the hand dimensions of 600 Farmers in four ethnicities of Lor, Kurd, Arab, and Fars in Iran. Moreover, it attempted to compare the data taken from the employees' hand dimensions in each ethnicity separately, as well as those in other countries to design Hand Tools appropriate for the corresponding country. Results: The results showed the mean length of hand (19. 82± 1. 53), hand metacarpal width (9. 47± 1. 59), hand width to thumb tip (11. 81± 1. 33), and hand metacarpal thickness (2. 78± 0. 29) were the highest in Kurd ethnicity. Moreover, the palm length (10. 82± 0. 84) was the highest in Arab ethnicity. Furthermore, the index finger diameter (2. 40± 0. 39) and hand circumference (28. 71± 1. 51) obtained the greatest values in Fars ethnicity. The results of the comparison made between hand dimensions in Iran and those in other countries showed that the Iranian metacarpal hand width was larger than that in other countries, such as India, northern Nigeria, and Jordan. In addition, the hand thickness of Nigerian people was greater, compared to that in the Iranian population. Conclusion: These findings can help interior designers design appropriate Hand Tools that cause a reduction in ergonomic problems in domestic Farmers.
