Knemometry (Greek η κνημη the lower leg) is the medical term for measuring the distance between knee and heel of a sitting child or adolescent using a technical device, the knemometer. Knemometric measurements show a measurement error of less than 160 μm (0.16 mm) and enable illustrating growth at intervals of few weeks (short-term growth).
