408 patients born between 1991 and 2019, with diagnosed non-syndromic sagittal synostosis, whom underwent FBR, ESC, or SAC in Erasmus MC Sophia Children’s Hospital, and had at least one post-operative 3dMDhead photogrammetry image taken before the age of six, were considered for this study.

Deformation of palmar hand measurements in a power grip by wrist ulnar/radial deviation. H Jung, W Lee, S Moon, H You.

The hand at a straight neutral posture was scanned using the 3dMDhand system. Next, the hand was scanned while in a power grip at each of three wrist postures (20° of radial deviation, neutral, and 30° of ulnar deviation), along with the corresponding palmar hand cast.

Beyond BMI for self-estimates of body size and shape: A new method for developing stimuli correctly calibrated for body composition. N Maalin, S Mohamed, RSS Kramer, et al.
