This paper presents results of hand anthropometric study performed on 586 males and 446 females of different age groups of Czech Republic population. Eight dimensions on each hand were measured together with body height and weight. The mean, standard deviation and 5 th , 50 th and 95 th percentile values are summarized and tabulated in the paper. Comments on differences between genders, right and left hand, age groups and others are given. The purpose of the study was to obtain enough data for efficient hand tool design or to be able to determine the dimensions required for openings for hand access into machinery as there is a lack of those information for Czech population. Also a comparison with anthropometry data of other world populations was performed to evaluate potential differences.
