Mensuration is the process of measuring. Measurements that are recorded include the patient's height and weight, the length and diameter of an extremity, the extent of flexion or extension of an extremity, the size of the uterus during pregnancy, the size and depth of a wound, and the pressure of a grip. Measurements are taken with a flexible tape measure, a circular wound measurement device, or a specialized piece of equipment (e.g., a goniometer, which is used to measure joint angles) and usually are recorded in centimeters.
