Dear Biomch-L subscribers,
I am trying to measure lower limb kinematics during a hip exam on a supine patient. Traditional motion analysis techniques estimate the hip joint center from four skin markers placed on the anterior and posterior superior iliac spines (ASIS/PSIS). On a supine subject, the PSIS markers are not visible. Are there alternative bony landmarks or different methods that could be used?
All advice will be greatly appreciated. I will compile and post all responses.
Thanks in advance,
Ashley Kapron
