The subject of this invention is a measurement method and device for selective and non-invasive determination of biomechanical, contractile and viscoelastic properties (BCVP) of skeletal muscles, muscle parts, tendons and ligaments (subjects of measurements) performed in situ (examine the phenomenon exactly in place where it occurs) by measuring the force at the skin surface above the subject of measurement. The essential parts included of the measurement device include a measurement sensor with a suitably shaped sensor tip, a microprocessor and a supporting part. The innovative measurement device is shaped in such a way that when positioned on the skin surface, the sensor tip is pressed into the skin. Any suitable force or pressure meter can be used to measure the force at the skin surface above the subject of measurement, where the sensor tip position is not affected by the measuring force.
