Auxology is the basis of a proper growth evaluation. It is through the history, physical exam, and auxology that we are able to properly assess a child’s growth. Auxology enables us to establish a child’s growth patterns and determine if growth is indeed normal. An accurate and reliable measurement, along with appropriate and accurate charting, is critical for a proper growth evaluation.
