Abstract
A monitoring device mounted to a user can be used to estimate a position or orientation of a body portion of the user, such as a joint or jointed portion of the user. Radiation can be emitted toward the body portion and a reflection of this radiation can be received. The reflected radiation can then be used to estimate a position of the body portion of the user.
