-\\ +**In it's current form, the segment's definitions (coordinate systems) are exactly those of the Plug-In Gait model in Visual3D. It is however not possible to obtain the //exact// same results as those generated using Vicon's Nexus software due to the use of different [[Visual3D:Documentation:Kinematics_and_Kinetics:Pose_Estimation|pose estimation]] methods.**
-**N.B. While every effort has been made to ensure the correct implementation of the Plug-In Gait model in Visual3D, some differences may still persist, most likely caused by the different pose estimations used within Nexus and Visual3D. Please report any errors to support@has-motion.com.**+

 Since there are variations of the conventional gait model, decisions must be made prior to marker placement and data collection. The diagram below lays out some of the decisions based on body segment. This is not comprehensive since many variations exist. The following sections describe the conventional gait model marker placement locations and challenges based on these options. Since there are variations of the conventional gait model, decisions must be made prior to marker placement and data collection.

-In the case of the Plug-In Gait, the decisions have already been made for option 2(c), 4(b) and 5(b). Using Visual3D, it is possible to opt for different model decisions if needed or relevant.
