Six graphics representing specific measures associated with extremity sizes presented in letters from M to S as follows.M= Hand Length is from the wrist to the tip of the longest finger.N= Hand Breadth is from the outside of the thumb knuckle to the opposite side of the hand.O= Grip Diameter is the diameter of the circle formed by the thumb and forefinger. P= Elbow to Wrist is the measure from the wrist to the center of the elbow joint. Q= Foot Breadth is the widest measure of the foot across the base of the toes.R= Foot Length is the distance from the heel to the end of the toes.S= Head Breadth is the distance across the widest part of the head.
