Analyzing Excitability: Force and Stimulus in Muscle Contraction

This lecture delves into the analysis of excitability in muscle contraction, focusing on the relationship between force and stimulus. The instructor explains how force measurement is influenced by factors like sensor mounting, crosstalk, and sensor movement. The lecture covers the impact of force on muscle deformation, the interference between sensors, and the importance of limiting crosstalk. Various configurations for force and position measurements are discussed, emphasizing the need to minimize interferences. Additionally, the lecture explores the role of the guide lever in force measurement and the challenges of accurately measuring force and position simultaneously.
