ThighThickness
How to measure
Application
Used in vehicle and desk design to ensure adequate clearance between the seat surface and the underside of a table or dashboard for a seated occupant.
Posture
Sit on a firm surface with the thigh horizontal and parallel to the floor.
Landmark
Measured vertically at the thickest point of the thigh, typically mid-thigh.
Tool
Spreading caliper or tape measure.
Clothing
Remove bulky clothing around the thigh.
Common mistake
Measuring at the very top of the thigh near the groin gives a larger result. Mid-thigh is the correct and standard landmark.
