Is the result obtained dependent on the mocap analyst? Mocap analystOne healthy subject (S1), 1 gait analysis, evaluated 10 times by 3 different examiners: A (experienced), B (experienced), and C (not experienced)Standard error of mean (SEM) of hrf-HRFSEM

How big is the influence of marker-placement on the results obtained?Mocap—marker placementOne healthy subject (S1), 10 gait analyses, application of marker set in alternating manner by 2 analysts: A (experienced) and B (experienced)HRFSEM
