LOINC description : Knee height is measured from below the lateral malleolus of the fibula to the heel.
This measure is used for individuals who are 60 years of age or are unable to stand
or have spinal deformities.Under usual field conditions, for reliability, the Anthropometrics
Working Group suggests that the measurements be taken in duplicate. A third measurement
should be taken if the first two measurements differ by 1.0 cm (1/4 inch). If it
is necessary to take a third measurement, the two closest measurements are averaged.
Should the third measurement fall equally between the first two measurements, all
three should be averaged.;
