Abstract EN
In literature, it is commonly reported that the progress of performance fatigability may be indirectly assessed through the changes in the features of the surface electromyogram (sEMG) signal.
In particular, during isometric constant force contractions, changes in the sEMG signal are caused by several physiological factors, such as a decay in muscle fibers conduction velocity (CV), an increase of the degree of synchronization between the firing times of simultaneously active motor units (MUs), by the central nervous system, and a reduction of the recruitment threshold and a modulation of MUs firing rate.
Amplitude and spectral parameters may be used to characterize the global contributions to performance fatigability, such as MU control properties and fiber membrane properties, or central and peripheral factors, respectively.
In addition, being CV a physiological parameter, its estimation is of marked interest to the study of fatigue both in physiological and in presence of neuromuscular diseases.
