**2.2.2 Height (H)**

The height for individuals unable to walk is measured with the subject seated closest to the edge of the chair with his/her left knee bent at 90 degrees. The length between the plantar surface and the knee is measured with the help of a measuring tape. The height is estimated according to the equations proposed by Chumlea; Roche; Steinbaugh (1985), where:

> Men's height = 64.19 - 0.04 x age in years + 2.02 x knee height in cm Women's height = [84.88 - 0.24 x age in years + 1.83 x knee height in cm
