Term Description
Measurement of the maximum distance between the extended middle fingers of the right and left hands. Generally, in children the arm span measurement is 1 cm shorter than height; in adolescents the arm span is the same length as height; and in adults the arm span measurement exceeds height by approximately 5 cm. Arm span is highly correlated with stature and may be used to estimate an individual's stature when height or recumbent length cannot be measured. Since height correlates with lung volume and certain other pulmonary function parameters, arm span can be used as a predictor or surrogate for height in predicting selected pulmonary parameters. In addition, an increased arm span to height ratio can suggest a loss of height such as in kyphosis and kyphoscoliosis which can, in turn, be associated with osteopenia and osteoporosis.
