However, the commonly used ones are: weight, weight : height ratio, triceps skinfold thickness, mid-arm circumference, arm muscle area and arm fat area.
Other determinants included maternal and paternal birthweight, and maternal triceps skinfold thickness at 28 weeks.
Three deep incisions were made through the triceps muscles into the shoulder and the incised surface inspected.
This causes triceps weakness and increased involvement of wrist extensors and finger extensors.
The humeral weakness refers to the biceps and triceps muscles, causing weakness of elbow flexion and extension.
In this paper, the results of measurements of the triceps and subscapular skinfold thicknesses are presented.
The triceps skinfold, in addition, is significantly related to height, and inversely related to age.
These findings are of interest because they imply that there is a real difference to be made in the interpretation of triceps and subscapular skinfold thicknesses.
