Figure of eight measurement of hand is used to measure the edema or swelling over the hand.
Technique[edit | edit source]
This method measured with the tape.
Step1. Hand rested on the edge of the table.
Step2. Take distal aspect of the ulnar styloid process as a starting point.
Step3. Then takes the tape measure over the anterior wrist to the distal aspect of the radial styloid process.
Step4. From there, the tape is brought diagonally ( to the other side) across the back (dorsum) of the hand and over the fifth metacarophalangeal joint line.
Step5. Then over the anterior surface of the metacarpophalangeal joints and then diagonally ( to the other side) across the back of the hand to where the tape started.
