腿长在解剖学上的严格定义是股骨与胫骨的长度,由于人类直立行走的特点,腿长通常表示股骨到胫骨再到脚的高度,其中股骨长度是指从近端股骨头到远端内侧踝的长度,但在活体,股骨头位于髋臼窝内,难以测量。因此,实际工作中通常使用一些更易测量的数据表示腿长,如髂高度、坐骨下腿长,也可以通过大腿长和膝高度来估计大概的腿长。这些数据都可以转化成比率,一般采用坐高/身高来反映身体比例。与其他哺乳类动物一样,人类的生长也遵循头-尾发展规律,胎儿至婴幼儿期头领先生长,而躯干、下肢则生长较晚,生长时间也 Leg anatomy is the strict definition of the length of the femur and tibia, due to the characteristics of human upright walking, leg length is usually the height of the femur to the tibia and then to the foot, which refers to the femur length from the proximal femoral head to the distal medial The length of the ankle, but in vivo, the femoral head is located in the acetabular fossa and is difficult to measure. Therefore, the actual work is usually used to represent some of the more easily measured leg length, such as iliac height, lower extremity legs, but also by the thigh length and knee height to estimate the approximate length of the leg. These data can be converted into the ratio, the general height / height to reflect the proportion of the body. Like other mammals, human growth also follows the head-to-tail pattern of growth, with the fetus leading early in infancy and the trunk and lower limb growing later, with longer growing times
