Page 7: The First Force Calibration
Prior to shipping the MyoDynamics Muscle Strip Myograph is subjected to two days of continuous testing, including a final force calibration. However, DMT recommends that a new force calibration is performed before using the MyoDynamics Muscle Strip Myograph for the first time. The force calibration procedure is described in detail in chapter 3.6.1 Force calibration in MyoDynamics Muscle Strip Myograph System -... -
