Effectiveness of the Wavelet Transform on the Surface EMG to Understand the Muscle Fatigue During Walk
نویسندگان
چکیده
Muscle fatigue is the decline in ability of a muscle to create force. Electromyography (EMG) is a medical technique for measuring muscle response to nervous stimulation. During a sustained muscle contraction, the power spectrum of the EMG shifts towards lower frequencies. These effects are due to muscle fatigue. Muscle fatigue is often a result of unhealthy work practice. In this research, the effectiveness of the wavelet transform applied to the surface EMG (SEMG) signal as a means of understanding muscle fatigue during walk is presented. Power spectrum and bispectrum analysis on the EMG signal getting from right rectus femoris muscle is executed utilizing various wavelet functions (WFs). It is possible to recognize muscle fatigue appreciably with the proper choice of the WF. The outcome proves that the most momentous changes in the EMG power spectrum are symbolized by WF Daubechies45. Moreover, this research has compared bispectrum properties to the other WFs. To determine muscle fatigue during gait, Daubechies45 is used in this research to analyze the SEMG signal.

Denoising and Analysis of Surface EMG Signals
In this research, surface electromyography (SEMG) signal analysis from the right rectus femoris muscle is performed during walk. Wavelet transform (WT) has been applied for removing noise from the surface SEMG. Gaussianity tests are conducted to understand changes in muscle contraction and to quantify the effectiveness of the noise removal process. Results show that the proposed method can effe...
متن کاملEMG-based Fatigue Assessment During Endurance Testing With Different VT Protocols
BACKGROUND: Muscle fatigue can be defined as the failure of a muscle to maintain a reasonably expected force output. The multivariate approach to fatigue assessment is used because the multiple (EMG) feature provides more information than anyone. OBJECTIVE: This study presents a method of assessing muscle fatigue during endurance testing at 50% maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) using electro...

Muscle fatigue is often caused by unhealthy and irregular work practice. It is defined as a long lasting reduction of the ability to contract and it is the condition when produced force is reduced. Faster walking can cause muscle fatigue, which is unhealthy when the level of fatigue is high. There are many mathematical parameters that are suitable to assess the muscle fatigue during gait. Out o...
متن کاملDiscrete Wavelet Transforms Can Detect Shoulder Muscle Fatigue during Light-duty Assembly Tasks
Shoulder musculoskeletal disorders are among the most prevalent work-related musculoskeletal disorders and constitute an important health problem. One of the occupations that are most affected is workers on assembly lines (Leclerc et al., 2004), as these jobs requires repetitive movement, which, as a risk factor, has been found positively associated with shoulder disorders. Repetitive movement ...

Introduction: Repetitive strain injuries are one of the most prevalent problems in occupational diseases. Repetition, vibration and bad postures of the extremities are physical risk factors related to work that can cause chronic musculoskeletal disorders. Repetitive work on a computer with low level contraction requires the posture to be maintained for a long time, which can cause muscle fatigu...
