Skeletal age changes in puberty.
نویسنده
چکیده
Changes in skeletal age and height of 34 Leeds schoolboys were studied in a four year longitudinal survey covering puberty. Tanner and Whitehouse method TW2 was used. In each boy, skeletal age advanced rapidly during puberty, reaching a peak at an age related to that of peak height velocity. The importance of recognising that this acceleration of bone age is normal is stressed, in order to avoid attributing it to other causes.

Skeletal maturation in children with cerebral palsy and its relationship with motor functioning.
The objective of this study was to describe skeletal maturation in relation to chronological age in children with cerebral palsy (CP) aged 9 to 16 years, and to analyze the relationship between skeletal maturation and motor functioning. The skeletal age of 100 children with CP (37 females, 63 males; age 9, 11, or 13 y; 73 ambulant, 27 non-ambulant) was determined over a period of 3 years based ...

متن کاملAge at onset of puberty predicts bone mass in young adulthood.
OBJECTIVE To determine whether the commencement and length of puberty influences dual x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) values of bone mineral content (BMC) and bone mineral density (BMD) in the axial and appendicular skeleton at skeletal maturity. STUDY DESIGN From the Bone Mineral Density in Childhood Study, we identified children who began puberty and completed sexual and skeletal development and...
متن کاملStiffness Properties of the Plantarflexor Muscles in Prepubertal Children
Puberty is a period of transition from childhood to adulthood and is often viewed within the context of sexual maturation and statural growth. During and after puberty, human skeletal muscles undergo both structural and functional changes due to muscular, neuronal, hormonal and biomechanical factors (Blimkie, 1989), leading to an increase in physical performance. The majority of related studies...
متن کاملForecasting the timing of peak mandibular growth in males by using skeletal age.
INTRODUCTION It is generally believed that the orthodontic treatment of a patient with a Class II malocclusion and a small mandible is enhanced by good growth at puberty, so that the timing of peak mandibular growth at puberty becomes of interest. METHODS To test the belief that skeletal age, whether early, average, or late, can be used to predict the timing of maximum growth of the mandible,...
