Sec. 4.46  Accurate measurement.

    Accurate measurement of the length of stumps, excursion of joints, 
dimensions and location of scars with respect to landmarks, should be 
insisted on. The use of a goniometer in the measurement of limitation of 
motion is indispensable in examinations conducted within the Department 
of Veterans Affairs. Muscle atrophy must also be accurately measured and 
reported.
