title: [Generalized laxity of the ligaments in children].
abstract: Authors reviewed the literature about the nomenclature and classification of ligamentous laxity syndrome. They are using the term "Generalized ligamentous laxity". They prefer the methods, with total body points-system to the extensometry of the fingers. On the basis of 890 healthy children they determined the statistic characteristics of the score of the generalized ligamentous laxity in relation to age and sex. They suggest, on the basis of the obtained data, the way of clinical application.
