Recommendations on Standards for the Design of Medical Diagnostic Equipment for Adults with Disabilities, Advisory Committee Final Report

MEASUREMENT TECHNIQUE

The depth and width are measured along the centerlines of the seat, and the height from the floor to the highest point of the transfer surface:

• The depth is measured between the perineal cutout and the hinge point at the back of the seat.

• The width measured across the seat at the midpoint between the seat hinge and the front of the seat.

• The height is measured at the highest point of the seat, inclusive of bolsters, with the foam in an uncompressed state. Note that this measurement would be at the highest point on the seating surface, which may not necessarily be at the centerline of the seat.
