Figure 1

Illustrating arm circumference measurement with a tape measure. The arm circumference is pictured being measured with a tape measure that is equipped with a tension gauge so that measurements at multiple arm sites are made with uniform tension. If two longitudinal separated sites have their circumferences measured the volume of the limb between these segments can be reliably calculated using geometric formulas.
