Abstract: A stadiometer includes a cap portion to be worn on a head of a user; a connecting portion having a first end coupled to the cap portion and a measuring portion coupled to a second end of the connecting portion. The measuring portion includes a plurality of sensors and a measuring rod. The stadiometer also includes a height measuring plate contactable by the plurality of sensors and the measuring rod. The sensors and measuring rod are configured such that the measuring rod is horizontal when the height measuring plate is contacted by the plurality of sensors simultaneously. The measuring rod is configured to contact the height measuring plate when the height measuring plate is contacted by the plurality of sensors simultaneously.
