Arm span or reach (sometimes referred to as wingspan, or spelled armspan) is the physical measurement of the length from one end of an individual's arms (measured at the fingertips) to the other when raised parallel to the ground at shoulder height at a 90° angle. The arm span measurement is usually very close to the person's height.
The tendons most commonly replaced or supplemented by the palmaris longus tendon when ruptured are the long flexors of the fingers and the flexor pollicis longus tendon.

Shorter cranks are the hot new trend, but do they actually make you faster? Here’s what the experts say.
The ape index is usually defined as the ratio of arm span to height. However, an alternative approach is arm span minus height with the result being positive, 0 or negative.

Why Exercise Is Important. The overall health benefits of physical activity are pretty major, from leading to longer lifespans and preventing chronic illnesses like certain cancers, coronary heart ...
The ulna or ulnar bone (pl.: ulnae or ulnas) [3] is a long bone in the forearm stretching from the elbow to the wrist.

Longer and thinner than the radius, the ulna is considered to be the smaller long bone of the lower arm.
