Next the system detects the three dimensional coordinates associated with at least three predetermined landmarks on the patent's foot in the scanned image. A ground plane is determined using the predetermined landmarks. A center of a talar dome is determined in the scanned data. An ankle offset lever arm id determined from the set of landmarks and center of the talar dome.
