Abstract: Method for detecting biomechanical and functional parameters of the knee in a situation of performance stress, which comprises: a step for the set up of video recording means (1); a step for the set up of multiple optical markers (4) at specific landmark anatomic points (PA) of the foot and of the knee of a person; a step for the set up, at the plantar surface of the foot, of baropodometric means (5); a step for the acquisition, by means of the video recording means (1), of images of at least one reference action, and a step for the detection, by means of the baropodometric means (5), of baropodometric parameters; a step for calculating, from the baropodometric parameters, the coordinates of the center of pressure (COP) of the foot and of the constraining reaction force (FV) acting on the foot; a step for calculating a force arm (BF) given by the distance between the center of pressure (COP) and a reference point (PR) of the knee; a step for calculating a biomechanical parameter indicative of the valgus momen

Abstract: A simulation system includes independent processing units each having a processor, memory, and a mathematical solver. An additional independent processing unit has an additional memory storing a predictive simulation model that includes equations relating manipulated variables, orchestration logic, and a master optimization solver. The orchestration logic initiates the additional independent processing unit distributing to each independent processing unit concurrent timing information, instructions to each perturb one manipulated variable, and values for the manipulated variables. The independent processing units concurrently execute the predictive model to perturb their manipulated variable to calculate derivatives for each manipulated variable. The additional independent processing unit receives the derivatives, calculates new variable values for each manipulated variable using the derivatives, and then runs the predictive model with the new variable values.
