Table 2. Marker locations on the canine hindlimb for soft tissue artifact analysis.

The * symbol represents markers attached to anatomical landmarks.

Segment Marker Description
Thigh GT* Greater trochanter (anatomical landmark)
LFC* Lateral femoral condyle (anatomical landmark)
LT1 The marker attached to the lateral thigh and located ~25% down the line from the GT to the LFC
LT2 The marker attached to the lateral thigh and located in the middle between the GT and the LFC
LT3 The marker attached to the lateral thigh and located ~75% down the line from the GT to the LFC
CT1 The marker attached to the cranial aspect of the thigh at the same height as LT1 in the standing posture
CT2 The marker attached to the cranial aspect of the thigh at the same height as LT2 in the standing posture
CT3 The marker attached to the cranial aspect of the thigh at the same height as LT3 in the standing posture
CLT1 The marker attached to the craniolateral aspect of the thigh and located in the middle between CT1 and LT1
CLT2 The marker attached to the craniolateral aspect of the thigh and located in the middle between CT2 and LT2
CLT3 The marker attached to the craniolateral aspect of the thigh and located in the middle between CT3 and LT3
Crus FH* Head of the fibula (anatomical landmark)
LM* Lateral malleolus (anatomical landmark)
PTC* Proximal tibial crest (anatomical landmark)
DTC* Distal tibial crest (anatomical landmark)
LC1 The marker attached to the lateral crus and located ~25% down the line from the FH to the LM
LC2 The marker attached to the lateral crus and located in the middle between the FH and the LM
LC3 The marker attached to the lateral crus and located at ~75% down the line from the FH to the LM
CC2 The marker attached to the cranial aspect of the crus at the same height as LC2 in standing posture
