Knee

The lateral condyle of the femur is the bony landmark typically marked to approximate the joint center of the knee when motion analysis software, such as KA is used. Though you will not be using KA, you will be using this landmark to help you locate the joint center of the knee. Place a marker on the side of the lateral condyle.

Ankle and Foot

The lateral malleolus of the fibula is the bony landmark used to approximate the joint center of the ankle. Place a marker on the side of the lateral malleolus

To demarcate the foot, place markers at the head of the fifth metatarsal and on the heel (calcaneous).
