Abstract

The parameter setting of functional electrical stimulation (FES) is important for active recovery training since it affects muscle health. Among the FES parameters, current amplitude is the most influential factor. To explore the FES effect on the maximum stimulation time, this study establishes a curve between FES current amplitude and the maximum stimulation time based on muscle fatigue. We collect 10 subjects’ surface electromyography under dumbbell weightlifting training and analyze the muscle fatigue state by calculating the root mean square (RMS) of power. By analyzing signal RMS, the fatigue characteristic curves under different fatigue levels are obtained. According to the muscle response under FES, the relationship curve between the current amplitude and the maximum stimulation time is established and FES parameters’ effect on the maximum stimulation time is obtained. The linear curve provides a reference for FES parameter setting, which can help to set stimulation time safely, thus preventing the muscles from entering an excessive fatigue state and becoming more active to muscle recovery training.
