- Firstly let the patient sit on a stool/chair than make a cross over the patella as shown in figure 1.
- With the help of measuring tape mark 6 inches above from the center of the cross. (Figure-2.)
- Same as above mark the 6 inches below from that center. (figure-3)
- Now measure the circumference of both the ends in inches only. (figure-4 & 5)
- Measurement should not be made in more compressed way or in released manner.
- If problem is in both leg than take separate measurement of each leg. This caliper is adjustable up to ± 1 inches.
- With this also take the age, weight & height of the patient
