STEP 1 - 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 arm at the elbow with the proximal edge of a tape measure aligned at the elbow crease and
Olecranon Process (elbow). Mark the dorsal aspect of the arm along this edge, and record the
circumference on the line labeled Elbow (0 Point).
4. Encircle arm at the wrist with the distal edge of a tape measure aligned with the ulnar styloid process.
Mark the dorsal aspect of the arm along this edge, and record the circumference on the line labeled
Ulnar Styloid.
STEP 2 - Locate Circumference Measurement Positions
1. Starting with “0” of the tape measure at your mark on the dorsal aspect of the elbow, mark the dorsal
aspect of the proximal arm in 5cm increments up to the mark made from the Posterior Axilla on the
dorsal aspect of the arm.
2. Starting with the “0” of the tape measure at your mark on the dorsal aspect of the elbow, mark the dorsal
aspect of the proximal arm in 5cm increments down to the mark made for the Ulnar Styloid on the
dorsal aspect of the arm.
STEP 3 - Measure Lengths
1. Measure proximal arm from anterior axilla (inside armpit) to the elbow crease and record length in box
marked Length A.
2. Measure proximal arm from posterior axilla (outside armpit) to the Olecranon Process (elbow) and
record length in box marked Length B.
