Anatomic landmarks and marker placement precision

Bone Landmarks Description
Calcaneus
1. Posterior calcaneus
Midpoint of posterior surface of calcaneal tuberosity, centred both medial-laterally and vertically.
 
2.Anterior calcaneus
Centre of the anterior surface of calcaneus, where calcaneus articulates with cuboid.
 
3.Inferior calcaneus
Medial-lateral midline of posterior surface of calcaneal tuberosity, along the inferior border.
 
4.Superior calcaneus
Medial-lateral midline of posterior surface of calcaneal tuberosity, along the superior border.
Talus
5. Posterior talus
At medial-lateral midline of the posterior aspect of talus.
 
6. Anterior talus
Centre of convex surface of talar head, centred both medial-laterally and vertically.
 
7. Medial talus
Dorsal maximum of the medial edge of talar trochlea articular surface.
 
8. Lateral talus
Dorsal maximum of the lateral edge of the talar trochlea articular surface.
Cuboid
9. Posterior cuboid
Centre of proximal cuboid articular surface (articulation with calcaneus).
 
10. Anterior cuboid
Centre of distal cuboid articular surface (articulation with fourth and fifth metatarsals).
 
11. Inferior cuboid
Inferior-lateral edge of the tuberosity of cuboid.
 
12. Superior cuboid
Most superior, dorsal “point” of cuboid.
Navicular
13. Medial navicular
Medial aspect of navicular, centred in the anterior-posterior direction.
 
14. Lateral navicular
Lateral aspect of navicular; centred in the anterior-poster direction.
  15. Superior navicular Superior surface of navicular; at the most superior point of its dorsal surface.
