Q. Without a stadiometer how can I determine my height?

Get a pencil and measure the height by resting the child’s back against a wall. Then using the pencil make a mark on the wall where the head is the tallest. Simply take a measurement from the floor to the mark placed on the wall using a measuring tape and have the answer. Spread the fingers wide apart and open the hand. How tall a man is may be determined by measuring the space between the thumb and little finger. Make a 90-degree angle with the wall using a flat headpiece and then lower it until it makes snug contact with the top of the head.
