Adjustment factors will be tried to see if this improves results. This measurement is to be coded. Results are okay but could be improved with some fine-tuning since women's hands tend to be smaller than men's. Tailor measurement only to be used to compare with straight arm measurements.

ARNscan measurements are consistently larger than the hand measurements.
We found the same results with the seat measurement on men and make an adjustment of 1.2 inches when selecting garment sizes. We believe that compression is an issue in taking these hand measurements. Good results can be achieved by using a similar adjustment factor for women. The seat measurement used for men takes the circumference at the extreme posterior point. Since women are wider in the hips than men, the maximum circumference may not be at the level of the extreme posterior point.
