Use the mirror to check the position of the tape as it crosses the subject's back. The tape will pass over the drawn right and left deltoid point landmarks. Exert only enough tension on the tape to maintain contact between the tape and the skin. The measurement is taken at the maximum point of quiet respiration. Trapezius point, right acromion, right.
Subject is in the anthropometric standing position.
Stand at the right of the subject and use a tape to measure the surface distance between the drawn trapezius point landmark at the base of the neck and the drawn acromion landmark on the outer border of the shoulder. The subject must not be allowed to change the position of the shoulders. Subject is in the anthropometric standing position with the head in the Frankfort plane. Stand at one side of the subject and use an anthropometer to measure the vertical distance between the standing surface and the top of the head. Move the blade of the anthropometer across the top of the head to ensure measurement of the maximum distance.
