Abstract
We demonstrate a novel low power wearable device that tracks local muscle fatigue. The device transmits fatigue and surface electromyographic (sEMG) data to an Android application in real-time via a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) connection. The device contains an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) that tracks muscle fatigue by estimating the Muscle Fibre Conduction Velocity (MFCV). The wearable and Android application together form the Muscle Fatigue Monitor, which offers the same level of muscle fatigue monitoring compared to traditional bulky EMG monitoring systems, whilst extending users' degree of freedom, range and comfort. The wearable could be utilised to detect muscle fatigue in applications such as ergonomics, healthcare and sport.
