Abstract:

Background: Personal identification through sex determination is an essential element of medico-legal examinations done by forensic scientists, clinical anatomists, clinical radiologists, anthropologists and orthopedic surgeons. The hand dimensions are sexually dimorphic and exhibit potential for sex discrimination. Aim: To determine the cut-off values of hand dimensions that could discriminate between sexes in Adult Tanzanians. Materials and Method: 384 students (192 males and 192 females) aged 18-59 years were studied. Hand length and breadth measurements were taken to estimate Hand Index, t

Abstract:

The handgrip strength determines the overall physical health and muscle function of the hand. Nowadays in Bangladesh, female laborers are an important source of work force in many industries. Laborers require more handgrip strength to perform their daily work efficiently. Besides, hand is the part of the body that directly related with handgrip strength, so, the hand dimensions are deemed essential to investigate. Therefore this study is to investigate the association of the dominant handgrip strength with the hand dimensions like hand length, hand breadth, hand span, palm length, palm breadth

Abstract:

Experimental replications show that ridge breadth measurements from fingerprints on archaeological artifacts can be used to estimate the age of the individual who produced the prints. While the greatest amount of variability in human ridge breadth is due to the growth during development from birth to adulthood, there is also variability due to hand and body size, sex, and ethnicity. Despite these confounding variables, the variability due to age is great enough to allow the separation of children’s prints from those of adults using ridge breadths.

Abstract:

Context : A reliable and valid measurement of hand anthropometry is important for designing dimensionally compatible hand tools, gloves and hand-held devices. Hand grip strength is accepted as an objective index for the functional integrity of upper extremity. The estimation of hand grip strength is of immense importance in determining the efficacy of different treatment strategies, treatment outcome and hand rehabilitation. The present study was planned to determine the various dimensions of hands, average hand grip strength of adult Bangladeshi female garment workers and the relationship bet

Introduction: Anguli pramana is an ancient form of anthropometric measurements where individual’s own finger width is used as a unit of measurement. Different researchers had attempted to standardize the Anguli pramana.

Anthropometry is defined as the measurements of different parts of the body and is widely used in surveys as an indicator of nutritional and health status. Studies revealed that large number of socio-economic variables are associated with the physical development of children. These variables consist of parental profession, income, education, birth order, family size, and urbanization. Materials used for the study were Stadiometer, non-elastic measuring tape, Skin fold caliper.

Abstract:

The present study proposed a method for establishing a linkage representation of the human hand skeletal system. Hand skeletons of 15 male subjects were reconstructed from computed tomography (CT) scans in 10 different postures selected from a natural hand-closing motion. The wrist joint center was estimated as the intersection of the centerline of the metacarpal of the middle finger and the distal wrist crease. The remaining joint centers were kinematically estimated based on the relative motion between the distal bone segment and the proximal bone segment of a given joint. A hand linkage rep

Experience is reported in the use of eight fascio-cutaneous cross-arm and forearm flaps in three patients. This has proved to be a reliable and satisfactory means of providing skin cover in reconstruction of the hand, giving flaps of a length to breadth ratio of at least two to one. The method was particularly useful where multiple defects were encountered, although in one case where a single defect required reconstruction, the ability to tube the pedicle of the flap allowed full mobility of the injured hand. Primary wound healing was achieved in all cases, and the patients have progressed to

A total of 321 anthropometric data were used for this study. To investigate hand types, 27 anthropometric hand variables normalized by the stature of each participant and factor analysis and cluster analysis were conducted. As a result, three major factors were deduced: factors of hand breadth, palm length, and finger length. Additionally, four hand types were determined: (a) a spacious hand with short fing

Abstract:

Several properties of food webs—the networks of feeding links between species—are known to vary systematically with the species richness of the underlying community. Under the ‘latitude–niche breadth hypothesis’, which predicts that species in the tropics will tend to evolve narrower niches, one might expect that these scaling relationships could also be affected by latitude. To test this hypothesis, we analysed the scaling relationships between species richness and average generality, vulnerability and links per species across a set of 196 empirical food webs.
