Hip Height
The height from the floor to the hip joint.
HipHeight
How to measure
Application
Used in vehicle seat and ingress design, trouser waistband placement, and ergonomic assessment of standing workstations.
Posture
Stand upright with weight evenly distributed on both feet.
Landmark
Measured from the floor to the greater trochanter — the bony prominence on the outer side of the upper thigh, roughly a hand's width below the waistband.
Tool
Tape measure.
Assistance
A second person should locate the greater trochanter by feel and mark it before measuring.
Common mistake
Confuse the iliac crest at the waist with the greater trochanter lower down. The greater trochanter is the correct landmark — further down and further out from the body midline.
