Spanish to English translations [PRO]
Medical - Medical (general) / measuring height
Spanish term or phrase: Bipedestacion
The phrase containing this word describes "tecnicas habituales" for accurately measuring the height of patients. These techniques include "mirada horizontal, bipedestacion" etc..
I imagine "bipedestacion" refers to the patient standing on two feet to be measured?

a stand-straight and walk device for handicapped patients


Explanation:
the above is an explanation what Bidepestacion is rather than an actual translation. In fact, I am at a loss to find an acceptable name at this time. However, if you look up the following web site, you will find illustrations of the device and this may lead you to the proper name. Good luck.

Station


Explanation:
NOTE: THIS IS FOR A DIFFERENT CONTEXT, that is, in a physical exam identifying "marcha y bipedestacion," the generally accepted use is that of "Gait and Station," where bipedestacion IN THIS CASE, refers to how the person stands. (I concur with standing position for the question submitted, but I figure others may run into the same problem I did!)
