APAS/Wizard

Introduction

APAS/Wizard is the latest addition to the APAS family of products. It can best be described as a workflow management system that allows you to design and run your own ("production line") motion analysis applications.

The biomechanical, mathematical and statistical models used in APAS/Wizard guarantee that you will get the facts. Everything you see in APAS/Wizard is determined by templates. You are welcome to use the default templates, or to modify them or create your own.
