    Area of Science:

    • Ergonomics and Human Factors
    • Rehabilitation Science
    • Biomedical Engineering

    Background:

    • Young individuals with motor dysfunction require tailored environments.
    • Existing workspace designs may not accommodate the unique functional dimensions of disabled populations.
    • Understanding specific anthropometric needs is crucial for effective design.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To determine the functional workspace for adolescents with lower extremity motor dysfunction.
    • To identify significant differences in arm functional dimensions compared to healthy peers.
    • To provide data for designing adapted workplaces and functional spaces.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized a modified Das and Grady concept for workspace determination.
    • Collected seventeen anthropometric measurements from 32 boys and 45 girls (aged 15-18).

  • Investigated workspace in sitting position across transverse and sagittal planes.

    • Main Results:

    • Significant differences in functional arm dimensions were observed between disabled and healthy youth.
    • The study quantified specific workspace parameters for the investigated population.
    • Data revealed a clear need for distinct spatial configurations for individuals with limited motor efficiency.

    Conclusions:

    • Workspace determination methods can be adapted using simple anthropometric data.
    • The findings are essential for designing effective workplaces and functional spaces for disabled youth.
    • Results support the creation of inclusive educational, rehabilitation, and workshop environments.
