This analysis examines how sensor size impacts the accuracy of in-vivo ligament and tendon force measurements, suggesting enhanced calibration methods.
Measurements of in-vivo muscle forces are essential to understanding the mechanics of locomotion (Komi, 1990) and the loads placed on bones, ligaments, and tendons during activity and altered gravity environment. Direct measurement of in-vivo muscle forces have been achieved by instrumenting the tendon through which the force is transmitted with implantable force transducers (IFT) (Holden et al., 1995). Accurate measurements require that these devices be calibrated postmortem to relate device output to tissue load (Glos et al, 1993).
