GripWidth

How to measure

Application

Used in tool handle design, sports equipment grip sizing, and ergonomic assessments of maximum grip span.

Posture

Hand closed in a relaxed, natural grip as if holding a cylindrical object.

Landmark

Measured across the widest point of the closed hand.

Tool

Digital caliper or rigid ruler.

Common mistake

Gripping too tightly narrows the hand. Keep the grip relaxed and natural.
