Directions:
"Bend forearm upward
at a 90 degree angle. Keep fingers straight
and turn the inside of your wrist toward
your body. Place thumb and index finger
of other hand on the two prominent bones
on either side of the elbow. Measure
space between your fingers on a ruler.
(A physician would use a caliper.) Compare
with tables below listing elbow measurements
for medium-framed men and women. Measurements
lower than those listed indicate small
frame. Higher measurements indicate
large frame."
