Assessment of muscle fatigue in low level monotonous task performance during car driving

Patterns of biomechanical demands are associated with musculoskeletal pain in the beginning of professional life: a population-based study

“…In addition to the well-documented fact that workrelated musculoskeletal pain can be caused by fibrotic and structural changes from tissue injury and consequent micro-trauma (37)(38)(39), work-related physicallydemanding tasks have also been shown to be related to the occurrence of monotonic muscle contractions that may cause pain (40,41). This is expected to be even more pronounced among young workers since their willingness to comply with all the work-related tasks in a short period of time may lead to involuntary muscle contraction in an uncoordinated way without relaxing pauses, which may ultimately result in regional pain.…”

“…Meanwhile, direct technical measurement method such as measurement of muscle activity and pressure can be carried out using technical instruments which produce specific quantities such as frequencies and forces [35]. Muscle fatigue due to holding task can be measured by observing the changes in amplitude and frequency of electromyogram signals that indicate the muscle activities [36]. Besides, pressure sensors can be used to quantify the distribution of force and pressure on the body parts [37].…”

Physical Fatigue Comparison of Eco-Driving and Normal Driving

“…Following the muscular fatigue, the amplitude of EMG signal is being higher, and frequency of EMG signal is beding lower wave (13,14) . Therefore, root mean square (RMS) of EMG signal is commonly used to describe the signal amplitude content of the recorded sEMG signal, which is related with muscular fatigue, respectively (10) .…”
