Differences in angular kinematics when using thigh, implant, or medial knee markers in osseointegrated transfemoral prosthetic gait

This finding suggests that when studying osseointegration gait, using an implant marker will result in more accurate femoral and knee joint motion than using the thigh marker. Changing the selection of markers can reduce the errors of knee varus/valgus and hip kinematics in osseointegrated transfemoral prosthetic gait.
