Guest guest Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 It is sometimes easier to estimate a BMI visually- with the height a ballpark weight can be achieved. Take a tape measure for height and do a Mid arm circumference to track changes in status over time. Not perfect but works with homebound.

I have home bound clients that can not stand, nor can I carry a sitting scale around with me. Anty suggestions, I certainly would appreciate.
