You can use a ray position somewhere above the terrain at your object's location, and "shoot" the ray (set the ray direction) downward to get the distance to the ground.
E.g., your object's pelvis position is 3 units above it's feet. Shoot a ray down from the pelvis position. If the distance is greater than 3 units, the object is "in the air" and will "fall." If the distance is less than 3 units, raise the object's pelvis to a position 3 units above the ground.
