Stature
How to measure
Application
Fundamental reference measurement used in ergonomics, clothing sizing, medical growth assessment, and as a baseline for predicting all other body measurements.
Posture
Stand upright, heels together, looking straight ahead.
Landmark
Measured from the floor to the highest point of the head.
Tool
Stadiometer, or tape measure fixed vertically to a wall with a flat rigid object resting on the head.
Assistance
Easier with a second person to confirm the head position and read the measurement.
Common mistake
Stand against a wall to prevent leaning. Forward or backward lean will affect the result.
