what is the procedure for weight measurement?
Answers
Procedure for weight measurement is:-
The child should remove the jacket,coat to accept it means he should very light clothes
He should stand in the centre of the platform of the weight machine and the body weight should be equally distributed on both the feet. Standing on the side of the platform of the waiting machine may affect the measurement
For balancing the beam move the left wait or to the right until the indicator across drops below the centre. Move the larger weight back to the left side to move the indicator across slightly above the midpoint. Then move the smaller wait to the right until the indicator across balanced at the midpoint. After that read the measurement and record it to the nearest 0.1 kg
Answer:
- Skinfold Calipers. - The thickness of these folds is a measure of the fat under the skin, also called subcutaneous adipose tissue
- .Body Circumference Measurements. -Stand up to get an accurate waist measurement. Then, wrap the tape measure around the widest part of your stomach, across your belly button. The tape measure should rest gently on your skin.
- Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA) .-
Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry is a means of measuring bone mineral density. Two X-ray beams, with different energy levels, are aimed at the patient's bones. When soft tissue absorption is subtracted out, the bone mineral density can be determined from the absorption of each beam by bone.
- Bioimpedance Spectroscopy (BIS)-
commonly used method for estimating body composition, in particular body fat and muscle mass. In BIA, a weak electric current flows through the body and the voltage is measured in order to calculateimpedance (resistance) of the body.
