Physiologic cross-sectional areas (PCSA) and architectural indices (Al) were calculated.\&nbsp;The\&nbsp;coordinates for\&nbsp;the\&nbsp;origin and insertion\&nbsp;of\&nbsp;each muscle were determined, using orthogonal right-handed coordinate systems embedded in\&nbsp;the\&nbsp;pelvis, femur, and tibia.\&nbsp;Results-PCSA and Al were calculated for 29 muscles, and coordinates for\&nbsp;the\&nbsp;origins and insertions\&nbsp;ofthese muscles were determined.\&nbsp;Conclusions-Results provide\&nbsp;the\&nbsp;morphometric\&nbsp;and\&nbsp;anatomic\&nbsp;data necessary for S-dimensional biomechanical studies\&nbsp;of\&nbsp;the\&nbsp;hind\&nbsp;limb in dogs.},
