Both marked spans share one linear scale. Artwork keeps its proportions; poses and surface detail are illustrative.

A little perspective

The length of 75 centimetres and the defined shoulder-to-fingertip length of Human arm are approximately the same.

Measurements, assumptions & sources +

75 centimetres

The quantity is exact as entered. Comparisons use the clearly stated specimen, model or nominal measurement.

NIST — SI conversion factors

Human arm

One complete arm in a defined 70 kg adult model: 75 cm from shoulder to fingertip and 3.46 kg, using published upper-arm, forearm and hand mass fractions. This is a comparison model, not a population average.

de Leva — Adjustments to Zatsiorsky-Seluyanov segment inertia parameters

The marked defined shoulder-to-fingertip length is calibrated. Unmeasured illustration details are representative.

How to read the visual

The labelled spans and stored measurements determine the scale; unmeasured illustration details do not.

  • Human arm uses a 75 cm central value within a recorded range of 65 cm–85 cm.
  • Human arm is labelled representative model; treat the displayed value as a comparison anchor rather than false precision.
  • The recorded ranges overlap, so the ordering can vary even though the central values differ.
