Girths Measurement: Ankle

To measure a client's ankle girth, follow these steps:

1. Ask the client to remove any bulky clothing and to sit on a chair with their feet flat on the ground.
2. Locate the bony prominence on the inside of the client's ankle, called the medial malleolus.
3. Place the tape measure or string just above the medial malleolus, around the client's ankle, making sure it's snug but not too tight.
4. Make sure the tape measure or string is level and straight around the client's ankle.
5. Read the measurement on the tape measure or mark the string and measure it afterward.

Once you have measured the client's ankle girth, you can use this information to determine appropriate ankle brace sizes if necessary. You can also use this information to create a personalized fitness plan for the client that includes exercises to target the ankle muscles and improve ankle stability.
