Shoulder: The person stands with her/his arms freely at their sides. Use the tape measure to measure from the widest part of the deltoid muscle under the acromion.

Chest: The person stands with feet shoulder-width apart, arms slightly abducted, and the tape measure is placed from the subcostal region, the Xiphoid process, and just below the axilla.

Waist: While the person is standing, feet together, arms at the sides and abdomen relaxed, a horizontal measurement is taken from the narrowest part of the body. That is between the belly button and the xiphoid process.Abdomen: The person is asked to stand upright and relaxed. It is measured horizontally, full circle, at the level of the belly button.

Arm: The person is asked to stand upright and relaxed. After releasing the hands to look at the thigh, measurements are taken horizontally from the midpoint between the shoulder and elbow.

Forearm: A measurement is taken perpendicular to the forearm from the maximal part when the person is in the anatomical position.

Wrist: The right arm is slightly bent at the elbow. Palms point opposite. Measurements are taken from the styloid processes of the radius and ulna bones at right angles to the forearm.

Hip: The person is asked to stand upright and with his feet together. A horizontal measurement is taken from the part where the circumference of the hips is maximal.

Calf: The person is asked to stand upright, feet 20 cm apart and a horizontal measurement is taken from the maximum width between the knee and ankle.
