Fig. 2. Anatomical Coordinate Systems (ACS) of the hind-limb model and location of
anatomical landmarks (AL). Figure produced from bone tracings (Immersion
InScribe3) using MATLAB software (Mathworks, Natick, MA). PUB (caudal end of
pubis) is an alternative point for the construction of a pelvis ACS. The
location of the joint centers and anatomical landmarks do not represent exact
locations in this figure. PEL, pelvis; FEM, femur; TIB, tibiotarsus, MET,
tarsometatarsus; PHAL, phalanges; for other abbreviations, see
