"markeringsgång" definition
For the sake of digging up available context, it's good to know the meaning of what proceeds the main word of focus. Toward that end, "markeringsgång" seems to be a Swedish word for which there is no precise English equivalent. Apparently it refers to carrying only 1/6 of one's body weight when walking. See sample sentence below.
