Subscapular Skinfold

Landmark

• The lower angle of the scapula (bottom point of shoulder blade)
• If there is difficulty finding this landmark, get the subject to reach behind their back with their right arm, while feeling for the movement of the scapula

Pinch

• The pinch is made following the natural fold of the skin, approxiately on a line running laterally (away from the body) and downwards (at about 45 degrees).
