摘要：

Measurement of the popliteal angle is used to assess hamstring contracture in children with, cerebral palsy. The popliteal angle in 482 normal children, 1-10 years of age, was measured. Using a 360-degrees goniometer, the popliteal angle was measured with the hip held at 90-degrees flexion to indicate hamstring muscle tightness. Between the ages of 1 and 3 years, the mean angle was 6-degrees (range, 0-15). At age 4, the angle rose to 17-degrees in girls and 27-degrees in boys (range, 5-45). At greater-than-or-equal-to 5 years the mean angle was 26-degrees with little change (range, 0-50). A popliteal angle of > 50-degrees in the above age groups indicates abnormal hamstring tightness.
