Get Ulna Height Chart

Limb measurements such as arm span and ulnar length can be used to estimate height. It is known that among healthy children, predicting height using ulnar measurement is more accurate than measuring arm length (7–9) and there are reference values now from birth to 19.5 years.

The study shows a positive correlation between the height of the individuals and forearm length. Conclusion: The regression equation derived in this study can be of great help to forensic sciences, anatomist and clinicians. The forearm being a parameter can be used for estimating the height of an individual.

Conclusions: Arm span measurements strongly correlated to measured height while ulnar length produced a moderate correlation. In the absence of measured height standing; arm span and ulnar length may be viable to predict a patient's height.

Ulna length of male students ranged from 24 cm to 31 cm while the ulna length of females ranged from 23 cm to 27 cm. The mean ulna length of male students was 27.40 ± 2.13 cm and that of female students was 24.70 ± 1.43 cm (p<0.001) (Table ​1).

Measurements of ulna length can be used to derive accurate estimates of a person's height. This method is useful for determining the height of the elderly and infirm and those with curvature of the spine.

The ulnar length was measured from the tip of the olecranon process to the tip of the styloid process, with the elbow flexed and the palm spread over the opposite shoulder with the help of the same tape; on the right and the left sides consecutively [Table/Fig-1].
