Knee Height VR Nursing Simulation

Knee height is used to estimate stature in patients who cannot stand. The learner sets the knee and ankle at right angles, places the fixed blade under the heel and the movable blade on the thigh, and reads the caliper.

Learning objectives

By the end of this experience the learner can:

  • Locate the anatomical landmarks for knee height: from the sole of the foot to the anterior surface of the thigh just above the patella, knee and ankle at 90°.
  • Use the knee-height caliper correctly and read it to the required precision.
  • Position the patient correctly and repeat the measurement to confirm consistency.
  • Record the value with the side measured and compare it with reference ranges.
Knee Height VR Nursing Simulation

Procedure steps

  1. Explain the measurement to the virtual patient and position them as required.
  2. Palpate and mark the landmarks (from the sole of the foot to the anterior surface of the thigh just above the patella, knee and ankle at 90°).
  3. Apply the knee-height caliper as demonstrated and take the reading.
  4. Repeat the measurement; if the two readings differ beyond the tolerance, take a third.
  5. Record the mean value and the instrument used.

Assessment

Landmark accuracy, instrument placement and the difference between the learner's reading and the reference value are checked automatically, with a tolerance set by the instructor.

Equipment and setting

Instrument: knee-height caliper. Landmarks: from the sole of the foot to the anterior surface of the thigh just above the patella, knee and ankle at 90°.
