Advanced method for the investigation of muscle fatigue

keywords EMG, MUSCLE FATIGUE

Reference persons LUCA MESIN

External reference persons Prof. Alberto Rainoldi, Motor Science Research Center, School of Exercise & Sport Sciences, SUISM, Department of Medical Sciences, Università di Torino

Research Groups Mathematical Biology and Physiology

Thesis type EXPERIMENTAL AND THEORETICAL

Description During fatiguing contractions, many adjustments in motor units (MU) behavior occur, reflecting both a peripheral and a central manifestation of muscle fatigue. A recent result of the research activity of our groups indicated that the integration of different information from surface EMG (including linear features and chaotic behavior) could shed light on these different components of muscle fatigue. The student during the thesis is expected to make measurements of multi-channel EMGs at the laboratories of SUISM and to help in the development of a processing algorithm for decoding the muscle condition during the contraction.

Required skills Programming and signal processing.
