Statistical Analysis of Anthropometric and Physiologic Performance of the Hand

Abstract

All the experiments are, and should be, based on a strong statistical analysis that give a generalization of the cases experimented. This article is about the statistical analysis of data obtained from a population formed by 200 subjects mean aged of 20 years composed from 116 masculine gender and 91 of feminine gender. These subjects have been analyzed anthropometrically and physiologically. The experiment is looking forward to build up a database consisting of enough data to establish the base for a study regarding the physiology and anthropometry of the upper limb, especially the hand. It would statically evaluate and determine the physiologic limits of the upper limb according to some parameters took into consideration. This study can be useful to guide the production of prosthesis and orthotics, adapted to the upper limb. The study was taken at Transilvania University of Brasov.
