Aspects of the present disclosure provides a system for real-time measurement of a dynamic force on a tissue traversing member during tissue traversal, the system includes: a sensing component including: a sensing bar; a Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensor affixed to said sensing bar; and at least a pair of support members to hold said sensing bar therebetween, wherein at least one support member includes a means to operatively couple a tissue traversing member therewith; at least one interrogator operatively coupled to said sensing component to provide a value corresponding to said force transmitted by said tissue traversing member to said sensing component while traversing a tissue, wherein said sensing component is at least partially enclosed in a casing to provide only one degree of freedom to said sensing component.
