The circumference shall be measured to the nearest millimetre, 20 mm from the crotch between the thumb and the index finger, as shown in Figure 2.Hand length shall be measured

46、 by placing the subjects hand, palm down, on a piece of paper with the fingers together and the hand and arm in a straight line. The thumb shall be fully abducted, extended away from the palm as far as possible. The paper shall be marked at the tip of the third, or middle, finger. ISO 2015 All right
