Doctors typically measure your height using a stadiometer, a specialized measuring tool commonly found in medical settings.
- The stadiometer is a long, vertical ruler with a movable head that is positioned against the top of the patient's head.
- The patient stands straight and tall, with their feet together and their heels touching the base of the stadiometer.
- The measurement is then taken from the base of the stadiometer to the point where the head touches the movable ruler.
This method is accurate and provides a reliable measurement of a patient's height.
