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 leg with top edge of tape measure aligned with the Gluteal Fold. Mark leg on this edge of
tape at the anterior, lateral, posterior and medial aspects, and record the circumference on the line
labeled Gluteal Fold.
3. Encircle leg with bottom edge of tape measure located approximately 8-10cm from bottom of lobule.
Mark leg on this edge of tape at the anterior, lateral, posterior and medial aspects, and record the
circumference on the line labeled Bottom of Garment.
4. Select a zero point in the lower region of the thigh, 15cm or less above the lateral bottom of garment.
Circle leg with a tape measure, making certain the tape is parallel with the floor. Mark leg on the top edge
of tape at the anterior, lateral, posterior and medial aspects, and record the circumference on the line
labeled 0 Point.
STEP 2 - Locate Circumference Measurement Positions
1. Starting with “0” of the tape measure at your mark on the lateral aspect of the 0 Point, mark the leg in
5cm increments down to your mark on the lateral aspect of the Bottom of Garment.
2. Repeat step 1, only this time from the 0 Point up to the lateral aspect of the Gluteal Fold.
STEP 3 - Measure Lengths
Lateral Lengths (A1): Measure upper leg from your mark on the lateral aspect of 0 Point to your mark on lateral
aspect of Gluteal Fold. Record length on Line A1.
Medial Length (B1): Measure upper leg from your mark on medial aspect of 0 Point to your mark on medial
aspect of Gluteal Fold. Record length on Line B1.
Posterior Length (C1): Measure upper leg from your mark on posterior aspect of 0 Point to your mark on posterior
aspect of Gluteal Fold. Record length on Line C1.
Anterior Length (D1): Measure upper leg from your mark on anterior aspect of 0 Point to your mark on anterior
aspect of Gluteal Fold. Record length on Line D1.
