ASSESSING MUSCLE FATIGUE

According to an aspect, there is provided a computer-implemented method for assessing muscle fatigue in at least one muscle of a subject. The method comprises (i) obtaining a first set of measurements of muscle contractions of the at least one muscle for a first time period; (ii) forming a first frequency distribution from values of a muscle contraction feature determined from the first set of measurements; (iii) determining a first distribution fit of the first frequency distribution; (iv) determining whether the first distribution fit is statistically stable; (v) if the first distribution fit is determined to be statistically stable, determining, from the first distribution fit, a first value for a distribution fit feature; (vi) comparing the first value to a second value for the distribution fit feature to determine a measure of the fatigue of the at least one muscle during the first time period, wherein the second value for the distribution fit feature relates to a second distribution fit of a second frequency distribution, wherein the second frequency distribution is formed from values of the muscle contraction feature determined from a second set of measurements of muscle contractions of the at least one muscle for a second time period that is different to the first time period; and (vii) outputting a signal representing the determined measure of the fatigue.
