1. A stadiometer comprising:
a cap portion adapted to be worn on a head of a user;
a connecting portion having a first end coupled to the cap portion;
a measuring portion coupled to a second end of the connecting portion, the measuring portion having:
a plurality of sensors; and
a measuring rod; and
a height measuring plate contactable by the plurality of sensors and the measuring rod,
wherein the plurality of sensors and the measuring rod are configured such that the measuring rod is configured to contact the height measuring plate when the height measuring plate is contacted by the plurality of sensors simultaneously,
wherein ends of the plurality of sensors contactable by the height measuring plate are arranged within a common plane, wherein an end of the measuring rod contactable by the height measuring plate is arranged within the common plane, wherein the measuring rod is arranged between at least two of the plurality of sensors,
wherein the measuring rod is located at the center of the measuring portion,
wherein the height measuring plate includes a light configured to emit light when the height measuring plate is contacted by the plurality of sensors simultaneously,
wherein the height measuring plate includes two poles contactable by at least one of the plurality of sensors, wherein the height measuring plate includes the light electrically connected to the two poles, wherein the two poles comprise:
a first pole contactable by a first set of sensors of the plurality of sensors; and
a second pole contactable by a second set of sensors of the plurality of sensors,
wherein the plurality of sensors are electrically conductive and are electrically connected to each other in parallel,
wherein the light is configured to emit the light in response to an applied current when the first pole and the second pole are simultaneously contacted by the first and second sets of sensors of the plurality of sensors.
