Description
Summary:The developments in physiological studies have established the importance of muscle fatigue estimation in various aspects including neurophysiological and medical research, rehabilitation, ergonomics, sports injuries and human-computer interaction. Surface electromyography signals are commonly used in muscle fatigue assessment. Techniques of surface EMG signal processing used to quantify muscle fatigue are not only based on time domain and frequency domain, but also on time–frequency domain. The developments of different signal analysis to extract different indices for muscle fatigue assessments are reviewed in this paper. Several indices in time, frequency, and time-frequency representations for muscle fatigue assessments have been identified. However the sensitivity of those indices needs to be investigated. Minimizing this issue becomes the objective of the recent research in muscle fatigue assessments.
