Understanding stresses on the body.


I have used a mannequin to mark key areas where support is required and identify key areas of either negative or positive pressure. For example the area near the underarm currently is subjected to quite a lot of pressure and friction due to the chest bar. With the help of the mannequin I can look into the effects of removing the bar and possibly transferring its function to another area of the body such as the shoulders.
