Circumference
The suggested circumference measurement method is:
1. The patient should stand in an upright position adjacent to a wall, barefoot
and with both legs attached or at a fixed distance (see Figure 34 [A]).
2. A measuring ruler of hard material (wood or plastic) of at least one meter
should be placed against the wall. Alternatively, a vertical metal stand with an
attached marker may be used (see Figure 34 [B]).
3. Measurements should be taken for each anatomical area, usually the
"thickest" part of each area:
●
Thighs and buttocks – upper third.
●
Abdomen – under and above the navel.
●
Arms – midway between shoulder and elbow.

the Legs; B) Labeling the circumference; C) Measuring Horizontally;
D) Labeling the Arm Against a Wall.
4. During the entire measurement procedure, the distance between the patient's
feet must remain constant.
5. At least four marks should be made with a white make-up pencil on each
measured area, usually front, back and both sides, while the patient is rotating.
6. A measuring tape should be placed across all marks which were made in each
anatomical area, creating a straight and horizontal continuous line between
them (see Figure 34 [C]).
7. The measurements and the distance from the floor should be recorded in the
patient folder, for identical positioning in subsequent measurements.
8. When measuring the arm circumference, indicate the distance from the wall
and always measure at the same distance while the arm is perpendicular to a
wall (see Figure 34 [D]).
