Sizing & Body Measurements
Step 1: Torso Height
This relates to the ‘shoulder sitting height’ which is measured as the vertical distance from a hard horizontal
surface to the acromion (the bony point on top of the shoulder) while sitting erect. As some clients may be
unable to be measured in this posture an equivalent measurement can be taken from the greater trochanter

(the bony prominence at the side of the hip) to the acromion while lying horizontal.
Step 2: Hip Width

This is measured as the distance across the hips in a sitting position.

Step 3: Shoulder Width
Width
This is not usually as critical as hip width when correctly fitting a sling. However, if the client’s shoulder width
is relatively small when compared to hip width, it will be hard to achieve a good upright position when lifting
for transferring to a chair or toilet. It is measured across the shoulders at the outer points of the deltoid

muscles.
