    The document summarizes a seat styling project focused on developing a new bezel design using ergonomic principles. It discusses analyzing muscle groups and range of movement, defining a zone of comfort, and conceptualizing various movement operations like pivoting, translating, and lever mechanisms. Diagrams illustrate potential design concepts. Next steps and questions are noted for continuing the project. The document was prepared by a development group in October 2007 to guide the concept stage of the new bezel design process.

    Muscle groups

    Small Muscle groups


    Small muscle groups: Specialized muscles that are responsible for fine movements; Smaller-sized muscles used for detailed operations that do not require high strength; High-strength tasks can cause strain risk of injury; Sensible and fragile.
    Finger type operation

    Arm operation

    Muscle groups

    Large Muscle groups


    Large muscle groups: Large muscles that are responsible for greater movements; Required for high strength operations; Natural way of applying heavy loads; Low risks of injury in range of forces considered for this task.
    Triceps Deltoid Biceps

    Forearm

    Wrist operation

    Muscle groups

    Range of Movement
    Range of movement: Main focus: wrist joint Limited range of movement without increased strain and discomfort on the joint; Limited amount of strength; Common injuries to this area: carpal tunnel syndrome.
