Anthropometrics Measurement: Height
May 21, 2023
To measure height, you will need the MAT ruler, a measuring tape or a wall-mounted height measurement device. Follow these steps:
1. Remove shoes and any bulky clothing.
2. Stand the client with their back against a wall, with your heels touching the wall.
3. Have them look straight ahead and keep your head level.
4. Make sure their shoulders are relaxed and your arms are at their sides.
5. Place the MAT ruler against the wall or measuring tape or height measurement device on top of their head, making sure it's level and straight.
6. Read the measurement in either feet and inches or centimeters.
If using a measuring tape, you can have someone else hold the tape in place for a more accurate measurement. It's important to measure height regularly, especially for children and adolescents who are still growing.
