Holway Rigid Segmometer

The Holway rigid segmometer is a top-of-the-line anodized aluminum model that is ideal for consistent and accurate anthropometric measurements. Rigid segmometers are frequently used by sports dietitians (RD's) and athletic trainers to measure bone lengths as part of an anthropometric assessment.   Segmometers can also be used to estimate the height of patients unable to stand (i.e. in wheel chair or bedridden), and to identify the midpoint of upper arm for body fat testing or blood pressure cuff location.  This line was developed by the prestigious sports nutritionist and ISAK 4 anthropometrist Francis Holway, and it is also used in his courses around the world. FEATURES  ALUMINUM BODY CONSTRUCTION makes this anthropometer both lightweight and durable with a smooth slide.  EASY TO READ SCALE helps reduce reading and recording errors RIGID BODY DESIGN provides more stable measurements compared to a flexible segmometer  OTHER NAMES / SIMILAR PRODUCTS Knee height caliper
