Other estimators of stature

Other segmental measurements (e.g., knee height and tibia length) are sometimes used as alternatives to stature measurements. These can provide some information about a child's growth, however their usefulness is limited. There are few data to support a relationship with the stature of typically-developing children, and even fewer data for children with special health care needs.
