50 Scientific Hand Charts: the collection!

Background:

The first milestone in the history of scientific hand charts was established in 1963 when L.S. Penrose published his 'dermatogram', a.k.a. 'phantom picture', for Down syndrome (mongolism) describing stereotype patterns in multiple dimensions of the hand involving dermatoglyphics & creases - see picture on the right below.

Later likewise charts for the hands became available for many other syndromes, sometimes featured with characteristics related to other aspects of the hand morphology (often involving various aspects of the fingers such as: shape, lenght, nails).

The latest development concerns the fact that hand charts derived from scientific research are now also available for characteristic manifestations of normal psychology, involving the Big Five personality dimensions Conscientiousness, Extraversion & Neuroticism - see e.g. the three hand charts displayed at the bottom of this page.

This article presents 3 options to start browsing the hand maps (slideshow + links above and below), which so far include 5 dimensions of Big Five personality model, 1 disease & 23 syndromes.

What do these hand charts tell us?

Interestingly, all available scientific hand charts confirm the significance of the following essential no.1 rule, which describes the fundamental major principle where scientific hand reading begins:

"Any hand sign only bares significance for a specific theme when it's presence is combined with the presence of other hand signs that also bare significance for that same theme."

This no.1 major principle presents the axiom (abstractly defined) which also provides the basis for the scientific hand reading system named Multi-Perspective Hand Reading!

Also, this no.1 rule is presented here as a starting point to browse the available hand charts (25 themes are included), which are presented below by alphabetical order:

Agreeableness | Arthogryposis | Conscientiousness | Cri du chat syndrome | Down syndrome | Edwards syndrome | Extraversion | Fragile-X syndrome | Holt-Oram syndrome | Hypercalcemia | Kabuki syndrome | Klinefelter syndrome | de Lange syndrome | Neuroticism | Openness | Patau syndrome | Prader-Willi syndrome | Rubella syndrome | Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome | Turner syndrome | Williams syndrome | Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome | XXYY syndrome | XYY syndrome | 18 deletion syndrome

A summary of the most significant hand sign combinations is presented for the individual conditions inside the article: Decoding the language of the hand!
