Your description is correct.

I wouldn't hurt to look at some of the original literature:
%A A. Amadei
%A A.B.M. Linssen
%A H.J.C. Berendsen
%T Essential dynamics of proteins
%J Proteins
%V 17
%P 412-425
%D 1993
%A D.M.F. van\0Aalten
%A B.L. de\0Groot
%A J.B.C. Findlay
%A H.J.C. Berendsen
%A A. Amadei
%T A comparison of techniques for caclulating protein essential dynamics
%J J. Comput. Chem.
%V 18
%P 169-181
%D 1997
Searching for the term "essential dynamics" will also yield lots of other
hits.

Amber's ptraj program is certainly a good choice.
