ANTHROPOMETRY 



139 



Notes: The maximum breadth of the bone is taken by the small 

 sliding compass and is measured from the extremity of the tuberosity 

 ad maximum. 



To take the maximum height of the bone use the large sliding com- 

 pass with broad branches; hold instrument vertically, lay bone on 

 movable branch on its talus facet, raise the branch until the bone 

 touches the under surface of the fixed branch and read measurement. 



To measure the stoutness use same instrument as for height. Lay 

 bone on the movable branch of the compass on its dorsal or superior 

 surface, let it assume a natural position, and raise the branch until 

 the most prominent part of the plantar surface of the bone touches 

 the under surface of the fixed branch.

Notes: The maximum length of the bone is measured with the small 

 sliding compass, between the most prominent point on the superior 

 and inferior borders of the distal or metatarsal facet of the bone and 

 the point at the inferior medial angle (calcanean process). 



The maximum breadth is obtained with the cuboid resting on its 

 medial surface in such a position as it naturally assumes. This and 

 the next measurement are best taken by the large sliding compass 

 with broad branches. 



The maximum thickness is taken with the cuboid resting on its 

 anterior surface in such position as it naturally assumes.
