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."
