ElbowFingertipLength
How to measure
Application
Used in workspace reach zone design, control panel layout, and furniture sizing to define the functional forward reach from the elbow.
Posture
Upper arm hanging naturally, elbow bent to 90°, fingers straight and together.
Landmark
Measured from the point of the elbow (olecranon) to the tip of the middle finger.
Tool
Rigid ruler or tape measure.
Common mistake
Measuring to the tip of the index finger rather than the middle finger shortens the result.
