Definition: |
The vertical distance from the floor to the vertex
(i.e. the crown of the head)Applications: As a cross-referencing
dimension for comparing populations and estimating data; defines the
vertical clearance required in the standing workspace; minimal
acceptable height of overhead obstruction such as lintels, roofbeams,
light fitting, etc. ¡@ |

Corrections: |
Shoes as above; 25mm for a hat; 35mm for a protective
helmet. A few design applications call for supine or prone body length
(in which the subject lies on his back or front, respectively). Such a
position lengthens the adult body by approximately 15mm.

Notes: |
(i) In children under 2 years, who cannot stand
unaided, crown-heel length is the nearest equivalent dimension. The
child must be stretched out in a supine position and prevented from
wriggling.

(ii) If you
ask an adult person to tell you their height, you must expect them to
overestimate by an average of about 25mm.
