Her research focus is product development for human health and safety and study of the body to improve function and fit of wearable products. Research funding sources include: National Science Foundation, 3M, U of MN Clinical and Translational Science Institute, U of MN Institute for Advanced Study, and others. She has published in Applied Ergonomics; Australasian Medical Journal; Ergonomics; Clothing and Textiles Research Journal; Journal of the Textile Institute; International Journal of Fashion Design, and Technology; and other journals. She was co-editor for the Clothing and Textiles Research Journal Focused Issue on Fashion and Health, co-editor of the Clothing and Textiles Research Journal Focused Issue on Research and Teaching in the 21st Century, and an associate editor for Fashion and Textiles--the Journal of the Korean Society of Clothing and Textiles, and served on the editorial board of the Journal for Health Design. She was co-chair of the U of MN, College of Design, Fashion and the Body 2016 Symposium. Her awards include: International Textiles and Apparel Association Distinguished Scholar, U of MN College of Design Outstanding Research Award, Lectra Innovation Award for Faculty Research, and U of MN College of Design Innovation and Mission Advancement Award. Dr. LaBat received the 2013 U of MN Horace T. Morse Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching and was inducted into the Academy of Distinguished Teachers.

Karen S. Ryan, M.D., M.S. has been a Research Associate with the Human Dimensioning(c) Laboratory, University of Minnesota, since she completed her Masters of Science in Apparel in 2006, with a project on designing apparel for women with posture changes from osteoporosis. Her research grew from her longstanding interest in apparel design and her clinical and teaching practice as a specialist in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R). Her clinical practice focused on musculoskeletal issues, electromyography (EMG), and neurological rehabilitation, with a strong emphasis on patient education. She has served on the faculty of the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, University of Minnesota Medical School, including as the Director of the Electromyography Service and as Residency Training Director. She has been an Oral Examiner for the American Board of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation and the American Board of Electrodiagnostic Medicine. She has made numerous PM&R presentations on a wide range of topics and in many venues, from patient family education sessions to University of Minnesota Television to national PM&R and EMG meetings. She has presented her design and health research in local, national, and international meetings and published in the medical and apparel design literature.

Le "Lettie" Wen graduated from Tsinghua University, China with a Masters of Literature. She began work on illustrations for this book as a graduate research assistant in the Human Dimensioning Laboratory(c) at the University of Minnesota. She received a master's degree in Graphic Design from the University of Minnesota in 2017. Her graduate thesis, titled "Human Anatomy for Wearable Product Designers," combined knowledge from the fields of anthropometry and medical illustration. She developed a unique style to portray the interactions of the human body and a product. She plans to continue work as an illustrator, with an emphasis on anatomical illustration.

Karen L. LaBat，博士，是明尼蘇達大學設計學院的霍勒斯·T·摩斯傑出名譽教授。她在建立可穿戴產品設計中心和人類尺寸(c)實驗室方面發揮了重要作用。她的研究重點是針對人類健康和安全的產品開發，以及研究人體以改善可穿戴產品的功能和合身性。研究資金來源包括：國家科學基金會、3M、明尼蘇達大學臨床與轉化科學研究所、明尼蘇達大學高級研究所等。她曾在應用人體工學；澳大利亞醫學期刊；人體工學；服裝與紡織研究期刊；紡織學會期刊；國際時尚設計與技術期刊及其他期刊上發表文章。她曾擔任服裝與紡織研究期刊時尚與健康專題的共同編輯，以及服裝與紡織研究期刊21世紀研究與教學專題的共同編輯，並擔任時尚與紡織--韓國服裝與紡織學會期刊的副編輯，還曾在健康設計期刊的編輯委員會任職。她是明尼蘇達大學設計學院時尚與身體2016年研討會的共同主席。她的獎項包括：國際紡織與服裝協會傑出學者、明尼蘇達大學設計學院傑出研究獎、Lectra創新獎（教職員研究）以及明尼蘇達大學設計學院創新與使命推進獎。LaBat博士於2013年獲得明尼蘇達大學霍勒斯·T·摩斯本科教學卓越獎，並被選入傑出教師學院。

Karen S. Ryan，醫學博士，碩士，自2006年完成服裝碩士學位以來，一直擔任明尼蘇達大學人類尺寸(c)實驗室的研究助理，當時的專案是為因骨質疏鬆症而姿勢改變的女性設計服裝。她的研究源於她對服裝設計的長期興趣，以及作為物理醫學與復健(PM&R)專家的臨床和教學實踐。她的臨床實踐專注於肌肉骨骼問題、肌電圖(EMG)和神經康復，並強調病人教育。她曾在明尼蘇達大學醫學院物理醫學與復健系任教，包括擔任肌電圖服務主任和住院醫師訓練主任。她曾擔任美國物理醫學與復健委員會和美國電診醫學委員會的口試考官。她在各種主題和多個場合進行了許多PM&R的演講，從病人家庭教育會議到明尼蘇達大學電視台，再到全國PM&R和EMG會議。她在地方、全國和國際會議上展示了她的設計與健康研究，並在醫學和服裝設計文獻中發表文章。

插畫家簡介

Le 'Lettie' Wen畢業於中國清華大學，獲得文學碩士學位。她作為明尼蘇達大學人類尺寸(c)實驗室的研究生助理開始為本書進行插畫工作。她於2017年獲得明尼蘇達大學平面設計碩士學位。她的碩士論文題為「可穿戴產品設計師的人體解剖學」，結合了人體測量學和醫學插畫的知識。她發展出一種獨特的風格來描繪人體與產品之間的互動。她計劃繼續從事插畫工作，重點是解剖學插畫。
