The Muscle Load add-on processes all available and active channels.

MVC – MAXIMUM VOLUNTARY CONTRACTION
At the beginning of each acquisition it is needed calibrate the add-on in order for it to
provide reliable data. To do so, click on the MVC button (maximum voluntary contraction)
and let the subject contract the muscle which is being monitored to its maximum. Make
sure the muscle can be contract without any restrictions for the calibration to be done
properly. This contraction will provide the value of the maximum possible contraction of
the muscle. This value will be the reference point for the signal acquisition and
processing. Each channel’s MVC value are listed in the table below MVC – MAXIMUM
VOLUNTARY CONTRACTION.
