This lecture introduces the biomechanical characteristics of muscles and the sensors used to study them, including the setup with three sensors, an electric stimulator, and a force sensor. The lecture covers the experimental setup in detail, explaining the force sensor's working principle and the use of a laser sensor to measure position. It also discusses the calibration of force and position sensors, the concept of crosstalk in measurements, and the challenges of sampling rates in biomechanical experiments. Additionally, it explores the manual adjustments required for stimulation current and intervals, as well as the data acquisition process for accurate measurements.
