LOCATE LANDMARKS
1. All measurements must be taken in a straight line, unless otherwise specified, with the tape measure following the
contours of the limb. Do not pull the tape tight; hold it lightly against the skin.
2. Encircle arm with tape measure located as high as possible at Axilla. Mark on the proximal edge of tape at the
Anterior, Dorsal, and Posterior aspects of arm, and record the circumference on the line labeled Posterior Axilla.
3. Encircle elbow with the proximal edge of a tape measure aligned at the elbow crease and Olecranon Process
(elbow). Mark the dorsal aspect of the elbow along this edge, and record the circumference on the line labeled
Elbow (0 Point).
4. Encircle wrist with the distal edge of a tape measure aligned with the ulnar styloid process. Mark the dorsal aspect
of the wrist along this edge, and record the circumference on the line labeled Ulnar Styloid.
LOCATE CIRCUMFERENCE MEASUREMENT POSITIONS
5. Starting with “0” of the tape measure at your mark on the dorsal aspect of the elbow, mark the dorsal aspect of
the upper arm in 5cm increments up to the mark made from the Posterior Axilla on the dorsal aspect of the arm.
6. Starting with the “0” of the tape measure at your mark on the dorsal aspect of the elbow, mark the dorsal aspect
of the forearm in 5cm increments down to the mark made for the Ulnar Styloid on the dorsal aspect of the arm.
MEASURE LENGTHS
7. Measure upper arm from anterior axilla (inside armpit) to the elbow crease and record length in box marked
Length A.
8. Measure upper arm from posterior axilla (outside armpit) to the Olecranon Process (elbow) and record length in
box marked Length B.
