Muscle fatigue is defined as a reduction in the capability of muscle to exert force or power. Although surface electromyography (sEMG) signals during exercise have been used to assess muscle fatigue, analyzing the sEMG signal during dynamic contractions is difficult because of the many signal distorting factors such as electrode movements, and variations in muscle tissue conductivity. Besides the non-deterministic and non-stationary nature of sEMG in dynamic contractions, no fatigue indicator is available to predict the ability of a muscle to apply force based on the sEMG signal properties. In this study, we designed and manufactured a novel wearable sensor system with both sEMG electrodes and motion tracking sensors to monitor the dynamic muscle movements of human subjects. We detected the state of muscle fatigue using a new wavelet analysis method to predict the maximum isometric force the subject can apply during dynamic contraction. Our method of signal processing consists of four main steps. 1- Segmenting sEMG signals using motion tracking signals. 2- Determine the most suitable mother wavelet for discrete wavelet transformation (DWT) based on cross-correlation between wavelets and signals. 3- Deoinsing the sEMG using the DWT method. 4- Calculation of normalized energy in different decomposition levels to predict maximal voluntary isometric contraction force as an indicator of muscle fatigue. The monitoring system was tested on healthy adults doing biceps curl exercises, and the results of the wavelet decomposition method were compared to well-known muscle fatigue indices in the literature.

Autonomous rehabilitation training for assisted patients with injured upper-limbs promotes the regenerative communication between muscle signals and brain consciousness. Surface electromyographic (sEMG) is a type of electrical signals of neuromuscular activity recorded by electrodes on the surface of the human body, which is widely applied for detecting gestures and stimuli reactions. Experimental results proved the importance of the sEMG signals for extracting such reactions, in which, the segmentation and classification of the sEMG are vital tasks. The objective of the present work is to segment and classify the sEMG signals of patients to assist the design of clinical rehabilitation devices based on the classification of sEMG signals. In the pre-processing stage, a dual-tone multi-frequency signaling is designed for signal coding; subsequently, the pre-processed sEMG signal is transformed by the Fast Fourier Transfer. Afterward, a time-series frequency analysisis performed by applyingHiddenMarkov Models.A basic traditional longshort- term memory (LSTM) model is addressed for waveform-based classification to be compared to the proposed improved deep BP (back-propagation)–LSTM for sEMG signal classification. Seventeen performance features are selected for evaluating the proposed multi-classification, deep learning model for classifying six actions, namely moving gesture of grip, slowly moving, flexor, straight lift, stretch, and up-high lift; which were proposed by rehabilitation physician. The experiment results indicated the superiority of the proposed method compared to other well-known classifiers, such as the neural network, support vector machine, decision trees, Bayes inference, and recurrent neural network. The proposed deep BP–LSTM network achieved 92% accuracy, 89% specificity, 91% precision, and 96% F1-score, in the multi-classification of the sEMG signals.

The state of athletes’ muscles is not constant, but it differs depending on the stage of sports training, which is associated with different degrees of muscle fatigue. There is thus a need to find a non-invasive and simple method to assess muscle fatigue. The aim of the study was to determine the relationship between muscle fatigue due to physical effort and changes in skin temperature, measured using a thermographic camera. Methods: The study involved 12 volleyball players. The participants were to maintain 70% of peak torque in the joint for as long as possible. We measured peak torque and the time of maintaining 70% of its value (tlim) as well as continuously recording skin temperature and electromyographic (EMG) signals in the region of the belly of the rectus femoris. The measurements were taken twice: before and after a series of squats. Results: The study found that tlim decreased when isometric contraction was performed after physical effort. Pre- and post-exercise skin temperature did not differ significantly, however, the increase rates of temperature and the root mean square (RMS) of the EMG signals grew significantly. In most of the players, skin temperature also correlated with the RMS, median frequency (MDF), and mean frequency (MF) of the EMG signals. Conclusions: Measuring the time of maintaining submaximal torque during isometric contraction and the slope coefficient for the increase in temperature recorded using a thermographic camera can be a simple, cost-effective, and non-invasive method of assessing fatigue and efficiency decreases in the muscles in volleyball players.
