Measurement Error in Osteometric, Photographic, and Virtual Methodologies to Quantify the Torsional Profile of the Lower Limb

Linear measurements have low observer error and are highly comparable between osteometric and virtual methods. There is greater observer error and lower comparability between measurement modalities for angular measurements. Shape-fitting is a promising way to reduce observer error when measuring the torsional profile.

Abstract

Linear measurements have low observer error and are highly comparable between osteometric and virtual methods. There is greater observer error and lower comparability between measurement modalities for angular measurements. Shape-fitting is a promising way to reduce observer error when measuring the torsional profile.
