Abstract
Dimensions of human hand have been measured by various authors across study groups. This anthropometric data has frequently been used to solve medicolegal cases. However, these details differ across various population groups and races, hence the present study was specifically undertaken to make an anthropometric record of young male population of North India. Young males between the 18 to 25 years were selected and their hand length, hand breadth and Hand Index were measured. Sliding Vernier’s callipers and Dynamometer were used to measure the dimensions of hand and strength of hand grip, respectively. An anthropometric index (Hand Index) was calculated after measuring hand length and hand breadth. The results of the study indicated that hand grip strength was more in the right hand than the left hand and that all the hand variables were positively correlated to the hand grip strength.
