Knee height is measured from below the lateral malleolus of the fibula to the heel. This measure is used for individuals who are >=60 years of age or are unable to stand or have spinal deformities.Under usual field conditions, for reliability, the Anthropometrics Working Group suggests that the measurements be taken in duplicate. A third measurement should be taken if the first two measurements differ by >1.0 cm (1/4 inch). If it is necessary to take a third measurement, the two closest measurements are averaged. Should the third measurement fall equally between the first two measurements, all three should be averaged.
