The changes of body parts surface in extreme posture

During the extreme body movements, parts of cloths are exposed to stretching and compression. Those changes limit free body movement and wear comfort. The aim of this research is preliminary determination of the changes of body parts surface in extreme postures. The investigation was carried out on 3D scanner, and marks were placed on the naked body. The results show the decrease of area in shoulder parts after the hand movement with simultaneous increase of sides’ area in front body. At the back of the body, the increase is almost in the same levels as for the front. The highest changes of areas happen due to the front bending of the body. The decrease of area is highest by abdomen and lower chest. The increase of the area i.e. body stretching is at the back. The similar results are obtained for the front hand with or without body torsion.
