ABSTRACT:
A light barrier and probe location device are disclosed for use with a near infrared interactance probe for measuring body composition on the upper arm of an individual while allowing the individual to conduct his/her own test at the same position on the arm each time and excluding ambient light. The device includes a piece of opaque material having an opening for the light probe, a probe location member removably attached to the material to position the light probe location opening and fastening means for attaching the opaque material around the arm of an individual after the probe location member locates the appropriate opening position to allow the individual to conduct his/her own test on him/herself.
