2: Adjust housing height to align flat pad with apex of medial femoral condyles

3: Feet in line with knees/hips and patella (knee caps) pointing to the ceiling.

4: Record height of top of carriers

5: Where subject has a long femur which prevents testing in this position, housing can be rotated to horizontal with legs through upright (as shown in photo 3)
