Biomechanics & Sports
Because of its ability to track natural features without the use of optical markers, ProAnalyst^® software is used extensively to analyze the movement of humans, animals, and insects. Leading research universities routinely select ProAnalyst as their movement analysis software.
	In this video, researchers analyzed the spinal motion of a gecko as it walked on a photoelastic track. Data from the automatic feature tracking is graphed directly below the video. ProAnalyst simultaneously plots x-coordinate vs. time for four features.

	ProAnalyst is ideal for athletic movement and gait analysis. Stick figure overlays reduce complex motion to simple visualizations. View real-time annotations of distance and angle, and measurements of position and velocity as features are automatically tracked.

	In situations where ping-pong ball markers would impede natural movement, ProAnalyst is perfect for feature tracking. Here, the hip, knee, and foot of a rugby kicker are tracked automatically. Comet trails and velocity vectors provide visual and quantitative information for kinetic analysis.
