Wrist Width

The width of the wrist.

WristWidth

How to measure

Application

Used in watchband and bracelet sizing, wrist splint and orthotic design, and medical joint assessment.

Posture

Arm extended, palm facing upward.

Landmark

Measured across the wrist at the styloid processes — the bony prominences on either side of the wrist joint.

Tool

Digital caliper.

Common mistake

Measuring mid-forearm rather than at the wrist joint gives a wider result.
