2 introduction to the conventional gait model
This document provides an introduction to the conventional gait model used in clinical gait analysis. It discusses the key aspects of the model including the anatomical segment definitions for the pelvis, femur, tibia, and foot. Marker placement for each segment is described, highlighting the importance of placing markers over bony landmarks to define segment axes and reference points according to the model. Challenges of applying the model to individuals with anatomical variations are also addressed.

- 22. Femur 22 Femoralhead (femur) and cetnre of acetabulum (pelvis) are in same place.
- 23. Femur 23 Medio-lateraldistance is a proportion of ASIS width If InterASISDistance is measured and entered PiG will use this. If not PiG will take measured distance between ASIS
- 24. Femur 24 Anterior-posteriodistance If AsisTrocDist is entered then PiG will calculate a distance based on this and leg length. If not the distance is calculated as a function of leg length only

- 42. Foot 42 Plantarflexion offset If foot not flat on the ground heel marker must be same distance from plantar surface as forefoot marker
