Sitting-height: an example
YE is a 5-year, 7-month old boy with developmental
delay. He had a stroke in infancy, and the right side of his body is
affected. He is not able to stand or extend his right arm. Sitting height
measurements (along with weight) are used to monitor YE's growth. He is
consistently measured sitting on a 40 cm box.
| YE's sitting height measurements show that he is growing
consistently on the height-for-age charts. Together, with regular
weight measurements, his sitting height-for-age measurements indicate
that he is growing well.
