The developed comprehensive anatomical 3D measurement protocol could serve as standardised approach for anthropometric studies in the future. Our data suggest that the ROC of current nail designs should be reduced from between 1500 and 2000 to 1000 mm to achieve an improved fit for the investigated population.
