How To Measure
Taking proper measurements is an absolute must when determining garment size. However, achieving a great fit goes beyond taking measurements. Not all garments work the same.
GENERAL GUIDELINES
You will need a cloth measuring tape, pen and paper.
Measurements should always be taken as soon as possible after waking when swelling is minimum.
Measure next to bare skin, not over clothing.
The measuring system is based on having the foot flat against the floor and the leg at a right angle to the foot.
Measurements should be taken by pulling the tape snugly around the leg, but without constriction.
Length measurements should be taken from the ground up.
Hint: Take all measurements, even if your patient requires calf-length, as you or the patient might decide another style is necessary.
