The paper presents scientific approaches for prediction of body height of a person according to the dimensions of the legs or gait parameters. A great benefit for the calculation of height people are findings of forensic biomechanics. The article presents the current trends forensic biomechanics and its practical application. Forensic biomechanics to study mainly footprints of locomotion that were still marginalized. Footprints of bipedal locomotion are typical of the tracks that reflect the functional and dynamic properties of the object acting, and it is possible to decode these tracks biomechanical content. Body height is one of the basic characteristics that serve to identify the person. Overview of the models can predict the height of a person in relation to gender, race, age and parameters feet.
