How to measure
Application
Used in desk, armrest, and keyboard tray design to position work surfaces at the correct height for seated users.
Posture
Sit upright with the upper arm hanging naturally and the elbow bent to 90°.
Landmark
Measured from the seat surface to the bottom of the elbow.
Tool
Tape measure.
Common mistake
Resting the elbow on a surface before measuring raises it artificially and inflates the result.
