LegLength
How to measure
Application
Used in clothing trouser proportioning, prosthetic leg sizing, cycling fit, and gait analysis.
Posture
Stand upright with weight evenly distributed.
Landmark
Measured from the greater trochanter (outer hip joint) to the floor, along the outer leg.
Tool
Tape measure.
Assistance
A second person should locate the greater trochanter and hold the tape end in place.
Common mistake
This is not the same as inseam length. Leg length runs from the hip joint to the floor along the outer leg, not from the groin.
