Laban movement analysis (LMA) describes human movement.
It is based on the original work of Rudolf Laban, and many others helped to develop it.
Its main and original purpose was to be a dance notation.
Before film and video were developed, there was no way to record dance moves so that later dancers could use those moves.
The transmission of dance from one generation to the next depended on older expert dancers teaching young dancers.
The problem was especially notable in modern dance, where the vocabulary of classical dance figures was expanded with almost no limits.
Towards the end of his life, Laban extended his ideas into the movements workers made during physical work.
LMA draws from many fields including anatomy, kinesiology and psychology.
It is used by dancers, actors, gymnasts and many other groups.
However, it is fair to say that it is now largely replaced by video recordings.
Also, it is not the only kind of dance notation, and not the only way human movement can be written down as a record for later generations.
And, it was not the first such system.
For example, in the 1680s Pierre Beauchamp had a dance notation system for baroque dance, and in 1887/8 Eadweard Muybridge started to use film to record human and animal movement.
It is film and video which has transformed our understanding of motion, rather than dance notation.
But in its field the Laban notation was notable.

The term CAD/NC (Numerical Control) is equivalent in some industries.
Most CAD/CAM software was developed for product development and to design and manufacture of components and molds.
They are also increasingly used by architects.
CAD/CAM software uses CAD drawing tools to describe geometries used by the CAM portion of the program to define a toolpath that will direct the motion of a machine tool to machine the exact shape that was drawn.
Examples of CAD/CAM software are SolidWorks, INVENTOR, CATiA  and AutoCAD.
Furthermore, examples of CAM software are SolidCAM and CAMWorks.
