I have written my own software for 3d kinetic and kinematic analysis of
airborne motion. To date it has been used in gymnastics and figure
skating. Information about the program called Dyana can be found at:

You may try David Winter at the University of Waterloo (519) 885 1211
ext. 2587 or at home for Waterloo Biomechanics (519) 747 0077.
I use his software and it is very good. You have to notice that this is a
research software, that's mean that you can modify any parts of the
model.
================================================== ========
Try to e-mail to the Patric Castagno in the Alfred I duPont Institute Gait
Laboratory in Wilmington DE.
They use the IR cameras for kinematic data, but as far as I know they
use
Macs and Suns, but writing to them does not cost much.
You can also try to e-mail to Jim Richards who actually set up all lab.

I am a physical therapist in a movement analysis laboratory based in a
rehabilitation medicine department. Most of the software that we use
has been written in house, originally for a VAX 4000, and now for DOS.
It takes a little effort to learn the software, but once you know it,
everything can be run in batch proceedures and it is pretty straight
forward. It can generate all the kinetic data you mentioned and then
some. It can also generate graphical output of the results, but printing out
the graphics can be a little tricky in the DOS version. The program is not
gait specific; you can use it to analyze any activity. The best contact
person about the software in our lab is Tom Kepple at e-mail address
