“…In a previous study on Iranian male workers, the hand length was obtained 193.01 mm, which was smaller than the hands of car mechanics and farmers of this study (Mirmohammadi et al, 2016). To investigate the possible differences in hand dimensions between the current study and previously published data, hand data from previous studies involving subjects from North Colombia (Oviedo‐Trespalacios et al, 2017), Korea (Jee & Yun, 2016), Turkey (Cakit et al, 2014), Nigeria (Obi, 2016), Bangladeshis in the USA (Imrhan et al, 2009), Jordan (Mandahawi et al, 2008), Vietnam (Imrhan et al, 1993), and central Iran (Mirmohammadi et al, 2016) were obtained. The mean of hand dimensions and the result of comparisons (Cohen's effect size) are summarized in Table 5.…”

“…As a result, a larger sample size study including individuals from various regions of Iran is advised. Second, the hand circumferences were measured with a fabric tape, as in earlier investigations (García‐Cáceres et al, 2012; Jee & Yun, 2016; Oviedo‐Trespalacios et al, 2017). Using a finger circumference gauge to avoid measuring errors in hand circumferences is recommended.…”

“…Subjects' hands were cleansed and dried before being measured. Because there is no variation between the right and left hands, anthropometric data was collected from the right hand of participants (Obi, 2016; Oviedo‐Trespalacios et al, 2017). The hand dimensions were measured in the sitting position and the fingers were stretched during the measurements.…”

The purpose of this study was to measure and compare the hand anthropometric dimensions and strengths of three different occupations. A cross-sectional study was designed to measure 34 hand dimensions and 4 hand strengths of 558 participants consisted of office workers, vehicle mechanics, and farmers. A digital caliper, a hand dynamometer, and a pinch meter were used to collect data. Percentile values for each measurement were tabulated at the 5th, 50th, and 95th percentile levels. The analysis of variance, t test, and Cohen's d were performed to assess the differences in anthropometric variables between groups of workers. The findings demonstrated statistically significant differences in the mean size and strength of the hands across three occupations. Office workers' hands were significantly smaller than those of car mechanics and farmers, particularly in terms of hand depths and widths. Car mechanics' hand circumferences were bigger than those of farmers.Office workers produced the weakest hand strengths. Wrist breadth of workers showed the highest correlation with hand strengths. Compared to other studies, the hands of Iranian workers were wider and thicker, but the length of their hands was similar. Given the significant variances in hand anthropometry between occupational categories, these differences should be incorporated into the design and selection of hand-related products such as gloves and hand tools for each group of workers.

“…Various methods of 3D imaging have been extensively applied in oral and maxillofacial surgery as well as plastic surgery 8 – 11 , because they collect surface data rapidly, non-invasively, accurately, reliably, and cost-effectively. These methods allow for the development of equally accurate 3D models by means of direct anthropometry, which is considered as the “gold standard” 12 , 13 .…”

The aim of this study was to identify an efficient approach for 3D imaging of hand. The 3D photographs of hand were taken with Gemini structured-light scanning system (SL scanning) and CT scanning. The 3D photographs, average time of scanning and reconstruction were compared between these two indirect techniques. The reliability, reproducibility and accuracy were evaluated in these two indirect techniques and the direct measurement (DM). Statistical differences in the measurements were assessed by 99% probability, with clinical significance at > 0.5 mm. The Gemini structured-light scanning system established a complete and smooth 3D hand photograph with shorter scanning and reconstruction time. Reproducibility of CT scanning and SL scanning methods was better (P < 0.01, both) than the DM, but did not differ significantly from each other (P = 0.462). Of the 19 (31.58%) measurements obtained, 6 showed significant differences (P < 0.01). Significant differences were observed more often for circumference dimensions (5/9, 55.56%) than for length dimensions (1/10, 10%). Mean absolute error (AE) of the 10 subjects was very low for 3D CT (0.29 ± 0.10 mm) and SL scanning (0.30 ± 0.11 mm). Absolute percentage error (APE) was 4.69 ± 2.33% and 4.88 ± 2.22% for 3D CT and SL scanning, respectively. AE for the PIP circumference between the 3rd finger (0.58 mm) and 4th finger (0.53 mm) scan was > 0.5 mm, indicating significant difference between DM and CT scanning at the level of 99% probability. In this study, the Gemini structured-light scanning system not only successfully established a complete and smooth 3D hand photograph, but also shortened the scanning and reconstruction time. Compared to the DM, measurements obtained using the two indirect techniques did not show any statistically or clinically insignificant difference in the values of the remaining 17 of 19 measurements (89.47%). Therefore, either of the two alternative techniques could be used instead of the direct measurement method.

“…Most of these studies have focused solely on general body dimensions and include few measurements of the hand. Exceptions have been the studies conducted by García-Cáceres and colleagues [7], which focused on the anthropometry of flower-sector workers and were oriented toward the design and evaluation of hand tools, and the hand anthropometrics study in northern Colombia by Oviedo-Trespalacios and colleagues [12].…”

This paper shows the estimation process of the hand’s anthropometric dimensions, for designing leather sewn gloves. Since there is not detailed information about hands in the anthropometric studies of the Colombian population, it was necessary here to use the ratio scaling method (RS) to estimate, 22 anthropometric dimensions. Subsequently, an anthropometric measurement was performed in a sample of 41 participants (18 female – 23 male), in order to compare the similarity between the measured and the estimated dimensions founding a correlation coefficient between 0.9396 and 0.9995, for male, and between 0.9587 and 0.9988, for female. It was found that the estimated dimensions have the required precision to use this information in the products design that involve a direct contact with human beings, which means that the measures can be obtained with a lower cost and in a faster way than with conventional anthropometric studies.
