    The document discusses anthropometry, which is the measurement of the human body, and its importance for clinicians in determining patient impairments and monitoring progress. It describes various anthropometric measurement tools and techniques for measuring body parts like limbs, and indicates anthropometry provides baseline data to aid in patient treatment, monitor outcomes, and inform equipment and space design. The document also covers measuring and interpreting leg length discrepancies through true anatomical measurements and apparent functional measurements.

    PHT 1261C Tests and Measurements

    Dr. Kane
    Definition anthropometry

    What is it?

    Why is it important?
    Edema
    Localized swelling
    Joint effusion
    Muscular changes
    Asymmetry of body parts
    Effects of surgical procedures
    Aids clinician in determining pt.'s
    impairments to provide the appropriate
    treatment
    Provides baseline data information to monitor
    progress and outcomes
    Provides feedback & motivation for patients
    Aids in designing equipment and materials
    for special populations
    Provides info in design of objects and spaces
    used by normal population
    Tape Measure
    Steel Tape
    Volumeter
    Anthropometer
    Calipers
    Perometry infrared laser
    Bioimpedence
    Measure in cm
    Place the tape measure flat on the body
    The tape measure should be stretched out
    and not slack
    If the segment to be measured is irregular or
    conical in shape, the proximal part of the
    tape should be flat
    When measuring circumference, surround the
    body part without undue constricting
    pressure
    Indications
    Upper Extremity
    Arm
    Forearm
    Lower Extremity
    Thigh/Femur
    Leg
    Indications
    Upper Extremity
    Arm
    Forearm
    Lower Extremity
    Thigh
    Leg
    Other areas
    Hands, feet, waist, hips, head
    Indications
    True (anatomical) vs. Apparent (functional)
    A difference of 1.0 to 1.5 cm is still considered
    normal but may be symptomatic
    Valid & Reliable
    Sources of error muscle bulk, clothing, palpation
    True Leg Length
    ASIS
    Medial Malleolus
    Lateral Malleolus
    Specific location of difference
    ASIS to greater trochanter hip valgus/varus
    Greater trochanter to lateral joint line femur
    Medial joint line of knee to medial malleolus tibia
    Interpreting results
    Apparent Leg Length
    Indications
    Landmarks:
    Umbilicus
    Medial Malleolus
    Interpretation
    Common etiologies of true leg length
    discrepancies:
    Idiopathic developmental abnormality
    Fracture
    Trauma to epiphyseal plate
    Legg-Calve Perthes Disease
    Malignancies
    Infections
    Common etiologies of apparent leg length
    discrepancies:

    Soft tissue shortening


    Joint contractures
    Ligamentous laxity
    Foot mechanics
    LBP
    Scoliosis
    Indirect Method of Measuring Leg
    Length

    - done through palpation of bony


    landmarks such as the ASIS or the
    iliac crest
    - use of blocks of given thickness
