 This is very important because "bad" forces can cause:
-. Bad footstrike events to be created
+  - Bad footstrike events to be created
-. Bad kinetic (ground reaction force, joint moments, etc.) calculations
+  - Bad kinetic (ground reaction force, joint moments, etc.) calculations
 **NOTE:** It is OK to collect "bad" forces, but it is necessary to tell the software to ignore these bad assignments, but we need at least a few good forces to complete our analysis.

 How to determine a "good" vs. "bad" assignment:
-|**A good assignment:**\\ \\ A "good" assignment will be shown in blue\\ \\ A "good" assignment will be used to create force assignments and gait events (foot strike and foot off)\\ \\ \\   |  {{IORgoodFA.png}}|

 === Examples of GOOD Footstrikes ===
-These are just some examples of "clean" foot strikes. The biggest thing to remember, is that if only one foot comes in to contact with a force platform, the force may be considered good. If anything else (other foot, walker, cane, etc.) comes into contact with the plate during stance, the force assignment should be removed.
