Overview

Analysis of hand morphology in young females reveals five distinct types, suggesting implications for ergonomic design.

Key Points

  • This research aims to investigate the changes in hand morphology among young Chinese women for ergonomic applications.
  • Employed 3D hand scanning for anthropometric measurements of 111 Chinese young women.
  • Measured 32 different hand parts based on the scanned models.
  • Analyzed hand morphology variables categorized into types such as finger width and hand length.
  • Identified five distinct hand types: short/thin, short/wide, standard, long/thin, and long/wide.
  • Hand length increased by 3.3% compared to national standards.
  • Metacarpal breadth showed an increase of 8.3%, indicating changes in modern hand morphology.
