Area of Science:

Biomechanics
Physiology
Signal Processing

Background:

Musculoskeletal fatigue assessment is crucial for performance and injury prevention.
Current methods often require controlled laboratory settings.
Objective, real-time fatigue monitoring is needed for diverse applications.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce a novel phase-space warping (PSW) method for detecting musculoskeletal fatigue.
To develop a fatigue metric using experimental kinematic, force, and physiological signals.
To enable fatigue assessment outside of laboratory environments.

Main Methods:

Utilized time-delay embedding and phase-space warping (PSW) techniques.
Integrated experimental kinematic, force, and electromyography (EMG) signals.
Developed a quantifiable fatigue metric based on signal processing.

Main Results:

Force and kinematic signals provided an overall estimate of muscle group state.
EMG signals allowed evaluation of individual muscle activation and load sharing.
The fatigue metric demonstrated potential for real-time application.

Conclusions:

The PSW method offers a viable approach for musculoskeletal fatigue detection.
This technique facilitates fatigue monitoring in real-world settings.
Applications include athlete monitoring, occupational health, and remote patient rehabilitation.
