Abstract: A method for determining a muscle fatigue of a muscle includes a first step of electrostimulating the muscle at different frequencies. A second step of the method includes determining forces developed by the muscle in response to the electrostimulations of the first step. A third step includes determining a muscle fatigue on basis of the forces determined in the second step.
Abstract: A device for measuring a muscular strength of a lower limb of a patient includes a seat for receiving the patient in a seated position and is suitable for being placed on a substantially horizontal mounting The device further includes an element mechanically coupled to the seat and supporting the lower limb so as to receive at least a portion of the patient's lower limb. A measurement instrument measures a force exerted by the lower limb at the element for supporting the lower limb and is configured to remain substantially immobile with respect to the support upon the application of a force by the patient's lower limb at the element for supporting the lower limb, by virtue of the patient's weight exerted on the seat.

Abstract: A muscle fatigue determination method including a step of electrostimulating a muscle at an electric charge at different frequencies. The electric charge is determined recursively in order to generate reliable and accurate forces of the muscle in response to the electrostimulation. The method further includes the steps of determining these forces and a muscle fatigue based on them.
Abstract: A method for determining a muscle fatigue of a muscle includes the step of electrostimulating the muscle at different frequencies, wherein the electrostimulation includes, at each frequency, a repetition of pulses during a period of time lower than 5 s. The method further includes the steps of determining forces developed by the muscle in response to the electrostimulations of step (i); and determining a muscle fatigue on basis of the determined forces.
Abstract: A method for determining a muscle fatigue of a muscle includes the step of electrostimulating the muscle at a given electric charge at different frequencies. The method further includes the steps of determining forces developed by the muscle in response to the electrostimulations and determining a muscle fatigue on basis of the forces The steps are repeated a number of times with increasing electric charge, wherein the electric charge is increased by a charge step between two occurrences of the electrostimuation step.
