The height from the sitting surface to the shoulders.
SittingShoulderHeight
How to measure
Application
Used in seat and workstation design to position armrests, shoulder supports, and overhead reach zones for seated users.
Posture
Sit upright, shoulders relaxed and not raised or rolled forward.
Landmark
Measured from the seat surface to the bony tip of the shoulder (acromion process).
Tool
Tape measure.
Assistance
A second person should locate the acromion and hold the tape end in place.
Common mistake
Tensing or raising the shoulders inflates the result. Let them hang completely naturally.
