Knee Height Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Knee Height (KH) is:

\[ KH = TL \times C \]

Where:

\( KH \) is the knee height (cm).
\( TL \) is the tibia length (cm).
\( C \) is the coefficient based on anthropometric data (dimensionless).

What is Knee Height?

Knee height is a measure used in anthropometry to estimate body dimensions and composition. It is particularly useful for determining the stature of individuals who cannot stand, such as the elderly or those with mobility impairments. Knee height is correlated with overall height and can be used in various health and nutritional assessments.

Example Calculation

Consider an example where:

Tibia Length (TL): 40 cm
Coefficient (C): 2.3

Using the formula to calculate the Knee Height:

\[ KH = 40 \times 2.3 = 92 \text{ cm} \]

This means that the knee height for this example is 92 cm.
