Abstract
The interactive 3D model was developed using a CAD package (SolidWorksTM) and its object-oriented application programming interface (API), coded in C#. The model supports movement and orientation of body parts both in the coronal and sagittal planes. The dimensions and description of anthropometric measurements used in the model were based on ISO-7250-1:2008 standard. The human body was partitioned into nineteen parts. The spine contains 24 vertebrae representing the cervical, thoracic and lumbar regions with each vertebrae being adjustable to different angles. The Denavit-Hartenberg inverse kinematics approach was used to calculate the position and orientation of all the joints in the hierarchy taking into consideration seat geometry, client's musculoskeletal condition and the sitting posture.
