5.3.5. Child Mid-Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC) Procedure (Figure 5.5) 1. Measurer: Keep your work at eye level. Sit down when possible. Very young children can be held by their mother during this procedure. Ask the mother to remove clothing that may cover the child’s left arm. 2. Measurer: Calculate the midpoint of the child’s left upper arm by first locating the tip of the child’s shoulder (Arrows 1 and 2) with your finger tips. Bend the child’s elbow to make a right angle (Arrow 3). Place the tape at zero, which is indicated by two arrows, on the tip of the shoulder (Arrow 4) and pull the tape straight down past the tip of the elbow (Arrow 5). Read the number at the tip of the elbow to the nearest centimeter. Divide this number by two to estimate the midpoint. As an alternative, bend the tape up to the middle length to estimate the midpoint. A piece of string can also be used for this purpose. Either you or an assistant can mark the midpoint with a pen on the arm (Arrow 6). 7. Assistant: Immediately record the measurement on the questionnaire and show it to the measurer. 8. Measurer: While the assistant records the measurement, loosen the tape on the child’s arm. 9. Measurer: Check the recorded measurement on the questionnaire for accuracy and legibility. Instruct the assistant to erase and correct any errors. 10. Measurer: Remove the tape from the child’s arm. 5. 3. Measurer: Straighten the child’s arm and wrap the tape around the arm at midpoint. Make sure the numbers are right side up. Make sure the tape is flat around the skin (Arrow7). 4. Measurer and assistant: Inspect the tension of the tape on the child’s arm. Make sure the tape has the proper tension (Arrow 7) and is not too tight or too loose (Arrows 8-9). Repeat any steps as necessary. 5. Assistant: Have the questionnaire ready. 6. Measurer: When the tape is in the correct position on the arm with the correct tension, read and call out the measurement to the nearest 0.1cm. (Arrow 10). 34
