Results
Our results for intra-sessional and total inter-sessional error bear striking agreement to those of
Schwartz et al (6) with total inter-sessional error being typically some 40% larger than those
from within a session. The portion of inter-sessional error due to variation in marker
placement is statistically significant though the difference between total inter-sessional SE and
that when marker error is removed is very small with a maximum of 0.24 degrees for knee
flexion.

differences between intersessional and intrasessional error, ^ indicates significant differences between
