AB This  chapter  presents  information  on  the  musculoskeletal  system  in  childhood  and  adolescence  and  relates  this  information  to  pediatric  disorders  commonly  seen  by  physical  therapists.  The  chapter  is  divided  into  three  main  sections.  The  first  section  contains  information  on  developmental  biomechanics,  including  principles  of  growth  and  musculoskeletal  development  during  childhood  and  adolescence.  The  second  section  reviews  the  histology  and  anatomy  of  the  main  musculoskeletal  tissue  systems—connective  tissue,  bone,  and  muscle—relating  each  to  specific  pediatric  disorders.  The  third  section  discusses  the  comprehensive  pediatric  musculoskeletal  examination  process,  including  specific  procedures  and  their  evaluation.
