  1. A11.06.1Choosing which population percentile to design for decides who gets excluded
  2. A11.06.2Hand length, finger width and grip diameter are the raw numbers behind target sizing
  3. A11.06.3How far a hand can reach and how hard it can push both vary by percentile
  4. A11.06.4A body measured standing still is not the same body reaching and moving during real work
