Single markers were located at specific anatomical locations such as bony landmarks, cluster markers were located on the limbs, and virtual markers were inferred from single marker locations. Markers on the lower limbs were used in inverse dynamics analysis to estimate the locations of segments and joints, as well as the forces, torques and powers acting on them.
