traditional water displacement volumetry, based on archimedes%26apos; principle of buoyancy, is considered the gold-standard for limb volume measurement. however, the routine use of this technique is associated with a series of disadvantages: the method is cumbersome to the patient, messy and unhygienic, and it takes a great amount of the examiner%26apos;s time. this article presents the prototype of a new piece of equipment designed according to pascal%26apos;s principle of communicating vases for the direct evaluation of hand volume.
