Asterisk

To ensure a proper fit, circumference measurements should be taken directly on the skin with the leg straightened, using a soft tape measure.
(if a soft tape measure is not available, a piece of string or yarn may be used to calibrate the leg's diameter, then measured against a hard tape measure.)

Locate the middle of the kneecap and measure around the leg. Measurements should be taken directly on the skin with a straight leg.
