Height Measures: Evaluating Alternatives to Standing Height in the Ambulatory Setting
Clinical Journal of Oncology Nursing, 2018Height measurement is a key clinical component to measure body mass index and body surface area used for patient care, including calculating chemotherapy doses. Some patients cannot feasibly or safely stand for height measurement because of a number of diseases and disabilities.

Sitting Height/Standing Height Relationship in Southern Region of Kosovo
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2018The purpose of this research is to examine standing height in both Kosovan genders in the Southern Region as well as its association with sitting height, as an alternative to estimating standing height. A total of 225 individuals (120 male and 105 female) participated in this research.

Longitudinal Correlation Analysis of Standing Height and Intelligence
Child Development, 1985Intercorrelations of 10 successive years of measurement of height and intelligence are presented for separate samples of girls and boys. These correlations are based on data originally gathered and published by Dearborn, Rothney, and Shuttleworth as the Harvard Growth Study.

Modelling dominant height growth: effect of stand density.
2003In many timber species, height growth of dominant trees (100 largest trees per ha) in even-aged stands is usually assumed to remain unchanged over a wide range of stand density. This assumption allows us to use the stand dominant height (mean height of the 100 largest trees per ha) at a specified reference age as an index of site quality.

Dynamic Models for Sideways Falls From Standing Height
Journal of Biomechanical Engineering, 1995Despite our growing understanding of the importance of fall mechanics in the etiology of hip fracture, previous studies have largely ignored the kinematics and dynamics of falls from standing height. Beginning from basic principles, we estimated peak impact force on the greater trochanter in a sideways fall from standing height.

Standing Height/Sitting Height Ration in Eastern-Kosovan Adolescents
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2018The purpose of this research is to examine standing height in both Kosovan genders in the Eastern Region as well as its association with sitting height, as an alternative to estimating standing height. A total of 364 individuals (185 male and 179 female) participated in this research. The anthropometric measurements were taken according to the protocol

Influence of real and virtual heights on standing balance
Gait & Posture, 2012Fear and anxiety induced by threatening scenarios, such as standing on elevated surfaces, have been shown to influence postural control in young adults. There is also a need to understand how postural threat influences postural control in populations with balance deficits and risk of falls.

Standing Height/Sitting Height Relationhip in Western Region in Kosovo
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2018The purpose of this research is to examine standing height in both Kosovan genders in the Western Region as well as its association with sitting height, as an alternative to estimating standing height. A total of 664 individuals (338 male and 326 female) participated in this research. The anthropometric measurements were taken according to the protocol

Common protective movements govern unexpected falls from standing height
Journal of Biomechanics, 1997Simple energy considerations suggest that any fall from standing height has the potential to cause hip fracture. However, only 1-2% of falls among the elderly actually result in hip fracture, and less than 10% cause serious injury. This suggests that highly effective movement strategies exist for preventing injury during a fall. To determine the nature

Critical Height Sampling for Stand Volume Estimation
Forest Science, 1985Abstract Critical height sampling as a technique for estimating stand volume without using volume tables is explained. Based on point sampling for tree selection, the stand volume estimator is the product of the point sampling basal area factor and the sum of critical heights of trees in the sample.
