Applied Motion Study
A Collection Method to industrial Preparedness

FOR THE CRIPPLED SOLDIER 139 tomical groups, such as right arm and left arm, consisting of the subgroups, upper arm, lower arm, wrist, thumb, first finger, second finger, third, fourth, and palm; right leg and left leg, with the subgroups of thigh, knee, calf, ankle, heel and toes; trunk, with the subgroups of for- ward bend, backward bend, bend to right, bend to left, twist to right, twist to left, hump, and shrug; head, with the subgroups of forward bend, backward bend, turn to the right, turn to the left, and mouth; eyes, with the subgroups of ball, pupil and lens. There should also be the general heading of inspection, with the subdivisions of see, smell, touch, taste, hear, blow and count; and the heading posture with the subdivisions of sit, stand, kneel, stoop, right forearm supported, left forearm supported, right hand supported, left hand supported, back supported and head sup- ported, etc. Charting the data in this manner makes it possible at a glance to visualise a simultaneous cycle and the elements of the cycle of work done. The various motion cycles in the method under investigation are analysed into these elements. Through this analysis we are able to work out
