Abstract
The movements at experienced in various synovial joints allow for a body motions that are large
thus giving mobile (tremendous) to human. The above-mentioned movements enable a person to
relay his/her limbs, make rotations, plus adduct their elbows and arms in attempts to hold heavy
things. Additionally, it also aids in rotating head or even bending to touch the toes below. The
paper presents the various body movements associated to walking towards and get in a car after
work. Various movements are explained and explanatory diagrams provided. This paper also
explains Fitt’s Law. This is aimed at stressing the importance of studying the different body
movement in a particular situation.
Introduction
Fitts’ law is a scientific predictive model extensively used in the design of computer’s human
interfaces and in ergonomics. It basically a predictor of the required period for a person to move
rapidly to targeted surrounding area depending on size and the distance of the target. It was Paul
Fitts in 1954 who suggested that required time to sway to target is directly proportion to target
distance (Fitts, 1954).
Researchers after this psychologist named Paul Fitts have proposed the following relation that
connects the target distance, the target size and the average time to a set mark.
