Asymmetry in the human silhouettes was measured according to photographs taken by the Silhouetter Type II apparatus. Subjects consisted of 58 male and 79 female Junior College students. 1) Significant side-differences were found in the following bilateral items : foot length (males), shoulder slope angle (males), and acromion-waist distance (males). 2) Significant differences in incidence of marked asymmetry were found in the following items : side waist point height (rt.>lt., males), shoulder slope angle (rt.>lt., both sexes), cervicale-acromion distance (rt.>lt., females) unilateral body weight (rt.>lt., females), acromion height (rt.<lt., females), dactylion height (rt.<lt., both sexes), bust length (rt.<lt., males), side waist point height (rt.<lt., females) cervicale-acromion distance (rt.<lt., females), and acromion-waist distance (rt.<lt., both sexes). 3) The asymmetry was, in general, marked in itemes associated with shoulder region. 4) The manifestation of asymmetry was classified into the following three types : (1) general type, where the asymmetry was found in the trunk, upper and lower extremities. (2) upper type, where the asymmetry was manifested in the body parts superior to the waist line. (3) local type, where the asymmetry was localized in the limited regions. 5) The incidence of individuals who represented unnegligible asymmetry for the clothing construction was 9 to 67% for arm length, shoulder slope angle, side waist point height, and side waist length. |
