  • The PPA method was compared with spectra-based methods (Fourier, AR), zero crossings (ZCs), and the first AR coefficient.

    • Main Results:

    • The PPA method demonstrated superior performance compared to ZCs and the first AR coefficient for both stationary and non-stationary signals.
    • PPA method showed slightly lower accuracy than traditional spectra-based methods but offers significant computational efficiency.
    • For simulated stationary signals, PPA deviation was 4.29%, and for non-stationary signals, it was 1.94%.

    Conclusions:

    • The PPA method provides an efficient and effective way to track spectral changes in ME signals during muscle fatigue.
    • Its computational efficiency makes it suitable for real-time applications where spectral analysis is needed.
    • This method advances the analysis of muscle fatigue through improved signal processing techniques.
