 +====== Knee Alignment Device ======
 +
 The Knee Alignment Device (KAD) is manufactured by [[https://www.motion-labs.com/index.html|Motion Lab Systems]] and is described [[https://www.motion-labs.com/prod_qa_kad.html|here]]. The KAD is used to assist in defining the frontal plane of the thigh segment. It is manufactured by Motion Lab Systems to precise definition (5.66 inches or 0.143764 meters between markers). The markers that are provided with the KAD have 24.8 mm markers attached. The KAD is used in the standing trial, and the origin of the KAD is replaced by a marker on the lateral knee located at the intersection of the 3 posts. The Knee Alignment Device (KAD) is manufactured by [[https://www.motion-labs.com/index.html|Motion Lab Systems]] and is described [[https://www.motion-labs.com/prod_qa_kad.html|here]].

-====== Marker Diameter ======+===== Marker Diameter =====
  
 Many laboratories have taken to replacing the 24.8 mm markers with smaller markers, in an erroneous assumption that it would be a good idea to have all markers used on the body and the KAD to be the same size. This actually introduces an error in the assumptions of how the KAD is used. If this is done, the user must be careful to accommodate this change to the original assumptions. The marker diameter is actually used to define the distance from the "origin" of the KAD (where the arms meet) to the pad which touches the knee. The image to the right from Schache, et. al.<sup>[[#cite_note-Schache-1|[1]]]</sup>, which describes the diameter value. Many laboratories have taken to replacing the 24.8 mm markers with smaller markers, in an erroneous assumption that it would be a good idea to have all markers used on the body and the KAD to be the same size.

-===== Step 3: Create a landmark at the origin of the KAD. =====+==== Step 3: Create a landmark at the origin of the KAD. ====
  
 This step creates a landmark at the origin of the KAD. The landmark is assumed to be placed identically with the lateral knee marker in the movement trials. If the Right Lateral Knee marker is labeled **RKNE**, then the landmark should be labeled **RKNE** as well. This landmark is only created so the RKNE may be selected from the list of tracking targets for the thigh. When the RKNE target exists in the dynamic trial, it will instead be used to track the segment. This step creates a landmark at the origin of the KAD.
