KneeHeight
How to measure
Application
Used in desk, table, and vehicle dashboard design to determine the minimum clearance required above the floor for a seated user's knees.
Posture
Sit on a firm surface with knees bent to 90° and feet flat on the floor.
Landmark
Measured from the floor to the top of the kneecap.
Tool
Rigid ruler or tape measure.
Clothing
Remove shoes, or measure and subtract heel height separately.
Common mistake
Measuring to the front of the kneecap rather than the top gives a lower result.
