Mean (±SD) for anthropometric measures and range of motion of the wrists
| Measurements | Non-affected | Affected | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Direct | Photographs | Direct | Photographs | |
| Hand Length (cm) | 13.83 ± 2.44 | 13.44 ± 1.73 | 4.02 ± 1.07 | 4.25 ± 1.15 |
| Palm Width (cm) | 7.00 ± 1.20 | 6.91 ± 0.95 | 4.50 ± 0.90 | 4.54 ± 0.66 |
| Forearm Length (cm) | 18.94 ± 3.88 | 18.94 ± 4.16 | 16.29 ± 3.41 | 16.69 ± 4.09 |
| Forearm Width (cm) | 6.23 ± 0.85 | 6.47 ± 1.12 | 5.57 ± 0.77 | 5.54 ± 0.59 |
| Wrist Range of Motion Flexion (°) | 76.00 ± 10.27 | 75.33 ± 11.01 | 56.44 ± 13.15 | 59.76 ± 13.95 |
| Wrist Range of Motion Extension (°) | 76.44 ± 5.7 | 76.00 ± 6.96 | 45.67 ± 33.47 | 43.56 ± 33.29 |
The results of the two-way repeated measures ANOVAs showed no significant (p >0.05) mean difference between the anthropometric measures taken directly on the subject’s upper limbs and those taken from photographs. There were no significant two-way interactions for repeated measures ANOVAs performed for hand x fitting procedures. There was a significant main effect for hand (affected versus non-affected), with no significant main effect for fitting procedures (direct versus photographs).
