He built a VLM-powered physical therapy analyzer — and it matched his doctor's diagnosis

A developer used Google Astra to build a motion analysis tool for his physical therapy exercises, overlaying his real movement trajectories against ideal ones. It revealed he leans left and overloads during lateral raises — which precisely matched his PT-diagnosed IT band syndrome.
He's now working on applying tendon/muscle-specific force vectors, noting that VLMs alone can do far more biomechanics analysis than expected. A counterintuitive, practical AI demo.
