Measurement devices and methods of using them to obtain measurements of a body portion are described herein. One measurement device described includes a base having a rectangular shape including elongated sides and an anatomically shaped end configured to engage with a musculoskeletal anatomical landmark on a body along with a plurality of measurement increments spaced along an elongated side to indicate distance from the anatomically shaped end. One measurement method described includes placing a measurement device having an elongate side and an anatomically shaped end adjacent the body portion to be measured so that the anatomically shaped end engages a musculoskeletal anatomical landmark adjacent the body portion to be measured. The method text includes using measurement increments on the elongate side of the measurement device to determine a position for taking a measurement on the body portion relative to the musculoskeletal anatomical landmark engaged by the anatomically shaped end.
