Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Static and dynamic handgrip experiments are performed in order to evaluate the effectiveness of utilizing frequency-band wavelet analysis in measuring force and muscle fatigue simultaneously. SEMG signals are recorded from flexor muscle and analyzed using continuous wavelet transform (CWT). The wavelet coefficients are grouped into high frequency (65Hz - 350Hz) and low frequency (5Hz - 45Hz) band. A significant correlation is discovered between amplitude of high frequency band and force level. On the other hand, the amplitude of low frequency band is associated with muscle fatigue. These results have an important implication for estimating force and muscle fatigue simultaneously especially during dynamic contraction.
