It is important to understand how the hand and fingers elongate and contract with hand posture for optimally fitting and comfortable gloves. Nevertheless, the measurement and analysis of the finger segments for glove designs remain largely neglected. Here, the length and proportion of the finger segments when splayed and during gripping, and between the dorsal and palm sides of 30 participants are 3D scanned and analysed. The full digit lengths change by 7.6–11.9% with hand posture, but the finger segment changes are not proportional. The ratios of the fingertip to distal interphalangeal joint/full digit, and fingertip to the proximal interphalangeal joint/full digit, are important variables. The results are validated with 10 more subjects based on ratings of a ready-to-wear sports glove. Inaccurate proportioning of the finger regions causes shifting which results in displacement and discomfort. This research contributes to glove pattern engineering, with a focus on the finger segments.

重要的是要了解手和手指如何随着手的姿势伸长和收缩，以获得最佳合身和舒适的手套。然而，手套设计的手指节段的测量和分析在很大程度上仍然被忽视。在这里，3D 扫描和分析了 30 名参与者张开和握持时手指节段的长度和比例，以及背侧和手掌侧之间的比例。整个手指长度随手部姿势变化 7.6-11.9%，但手指节段变化不成比例。指尖与远端指间关节/全指和指尖与近端指间关节/全指的比率是重要的变量。根据成衣运动手套的评级，结果在另外 10 名受试者中得到验证。手指区域的不准确比例会导致移位，从而导致移位和不适。这项研究有助于手套图案工程，重点是手指部分。
