  1. Markers with an a are only used in the static trial as anatomical markers and may therefore be removed in the dynamic trials
  2. Markers with an b are only used as tracking markers, all unmarked markers are used as anatomical and tracking marker
  3. Markers in italics without a number are virtual markers
