-in describing the orientation of the pelvis or for describing the hip joint angle, it is often convenient to define a pelvis angle that has a coronal plane parallel to the floor (eg a vertical segment with zero tilt).

-note that the z edit box contains the subject metric **0.5*asis_distance** there are no strict dimensions, but it is convenient to base it partly on the subjects size. note that this will end up being the length of a virtual pelvis segment, and will not be used for any inverse dynamics calculations, so the distance does not actually matter because only the orientation of the segment coordinate system will be used for segment and joint angles.

+Pelvis segment RPV_2 has a z-axis that is now directed vertically upward, which means that the pelvis segment angle relative to the laboratory will have no anterior tilt.
