Abstract

A sensor docking unit for attaching and removing sensor or marker onto/from a user's limb includes a guiding portion and a limb localization unit having a detector to determine if an insertion of the user's limb into a pre-specified position within the sensor docking unit has been completed correctly. A sensor or marker mounting device includes at least one sensor or marker entity to enable at least semi-automatic attachment and/or removal of the at least one sensor or marker to/from the user's limb in a reproducible manner. The sensor or marker mounting device is activatable to start with an attachment and/or removal of the at least one sensor or marker when a correct insertion of the user's limb has been determined by the limb localization unit.
