Online published on 17 July, 2019. Abstract Assessing stature is one way of identifying an individual living or dead. It is easy to assess in dead if the body is available in Toto. If only a part is recovered then its really a difficult task for a forensic expert to find out the actual stature. Many anthropometric parameters are used to assess the stature of an individual, but there is no accurate technique or parameter till devised. So we are using multiple parameters to assess and find the acceptable range of stature for practical purposes. In this study parameters like one arm length, vertex to upper border of pubic symphysis length and foot length are used to assess stature in an intact body and compare with real stature to find out their correlation.
