Key result
Two new sensors employing an array of three capacitive force measurement devices successfully measured tension values up to 100 N on a bench-top test rig without requiring string attachment.
The developed sensors can estimate tension in strings up to 100 N without requiring attachment to the string or an external-inertial reference, which may have applications in orthopedic surgeries.

May support tension assessment during orthopedic procedures; leaves open clinical translation pending in vivo validation.
Singal et al. (2012) studied Tension measurement in strings and soft tissues. Two new sensors employing an array of three capacitive force measurement devices was evaluated on Tension measurement. Two new sensors employing an array of three capacitive force measurement devices successfully measured tension values up to 100 N on a bench-top test rig without requiring string attachment.
