Physiological Effect on Changes of the Surface Area and the Volume of Limb and Their Effective Measurements

하퇴부(下腿部)의 표면적(表面積) 및 체적변화(體積變化)의 생리적(生理的) 배경(背景)과 측정(測定)에 대(對)한 연구(硏究)

Changes of the surface area and the volume of limb are important factors for designing clothes and shoes. The limb volume increases slightly in the afternoon in general, because of human activity, as a diurnal variation. Changes are also associated with menstrual cycle, pregnancy, physical exercise and environmental temperature. The most effective method for measuring the surface area of limb is the paper replacement method.
