“…selected biomechanical characteristics of hands are summarized in a journal article by Garrett (1971),11 These include: (1) conventional anthropometry of male and female hands, (2) the anthropometry of the relaxed hand, (3) comparison of certain engineering, anthropometric and performance parameters between bare and pressure-gloved hands, and (4) the ability to retain grips on selected handles under high dynamic loads. The utility of these data for human factors engineering is discussed.…”

“…Studies by earlier scholars primarily focused on the body measurement related to the grip force of hands (Kitagawa and Miyashita, 1978;Miyatake et al, 2000;McGorry, 2001;Hulens et al, 2001;Rolland et al, 2004;Fogelholm et al, 2006;Wu et al, 2009;Cavuoto and Nussbaum, 2013). Garrett (1971) conducted the measurements aimed at the measurement model of hands by means of conventional tools. Garmer et al (2002) and Kwon et al (2009) subsequently conducted the correction of hand measuring technology.…”

“…Yu et al (2013) proposed to conduct accurate measurements of hand dimensions using 2D and 3D methods. For custom-made gloves, direct measurement tools, such as flexible measuring tape, calipers, measuring boards, and rulers, are traditionally used to obtain hand dimensions for glove design and pattern development (Garrett, 1971). Yu et al (2013) reported that the objective of the present study is to propose a new approach of obtaining hand anthropometric measurements using 2D and/or 3D image analyses and comparing the new method with the conventional direct measurement method.…”

A method was proposed in this study for assessing the interface operating efficiency of a remote control. The operating efficiency of a product interface can be determined by the proposed approach in which the related dimensions of human palms were measured. The reachable range (blue zone) and the most comfortable range (green zone) were investigated when a user used a single hand (right hand) to operate the remote controls. After that, new remote control designs were created based on the measurement results and the operating efficiency of commercially available remote controls were determined for comparison. The operating efficiency is determined by calculating the overall distance of finger movements when manipulating the buttons and the overall operation time was recorded. The subjects who joined the body measurements and performed the experiments are right-hander Asian college students between the ages of 22 and 28. After further optimization, the reachable range became more average during one-handed operations and those frequently used keys were included into the comfortable range. The resulting operating efficiency performance is higher than commercially available products. The results serve as a good reference for detailed modifications of the products or for the decision making of design proposals.

“…Generell werden Objekte als schön empfunden, wenn diese Harmonie, Proportion und Klarheit vereinigen [20]. Drei unterschiedliche Handtypen, basierend auf Kretschmer, sind bekannt: F der ektomorphe Typ mit langen, schlanken Händen, F der athletische Typ mit breiteren, aber sehr gut proportionierten Händen sowie F der pyknische Typ mit kurzen Fingern und einem breiten Handrücken ( [9]; .

The appearance of the hand is clearly secondary to its function. Nonetheless, aging changes on the hands are of considerable importance to many patients. Although rejuvenation of the hand has attracted increased interest in plastic surgery recently, the dermatologists have dealt with this problem for a longer time. Successful rejuvenation requires thorough analysis of the underlying pathophysiology. Hand aging is characterized by dermal and subcutaneous volume loss resulting wrinkle formation. Aging is also associated with increased visibility of tendons and veins as well as age spots and precancerous lesions. Hand rejuvenation aims at successfully reversing this three-dimensional process. The majority of treatment options address only partial aspects of the aging process. Topical treatments are the mainstay of therapy as these changes are most obvious. As patients will mainly seek advice from dermatologist, this field requires increased attention.
