Past studies that used the MC sensor for measuring muscle load left unanswered the questions of the influence of different characteristics of measured human tissue. Knowing more about the influence of measured materials could add value and widen the field of research with the MC sensor. For our research, we used a simplified model of the muscle, which was dynamically stretched in a controlled manner while simultaneously measuring the actual longitudinal force and MC sensor load. We confirmed very strong linear correlation between the two values and in the second part of analysis found small influence of different measured materials.
