A novel MC sensor that enables noninvasive in situ (examine the phenomenon exactly in place where it occurs) determination of the biomechanical, contractile and viscoelastic properties of all surface skeletal muscles, muscle parts, tendons and ligaments has been developed. With the MC sensor, muscle properties determination is achieved by measuring muscle force at the skin surface above the subject of measurement. The relationship between forces measured with the MC sensor and force caused by the contraction measured with a dynamometer is nearly linear in static conditions. In this paper we show that this nearly linear relationship also holds when forces dynamically change in time during voluntary isometric contraction.
