title: A real-time FFT analyser for monitoring muscle fatigue.
abstract: The TMS 32010 system for a real-time muscle fatigue monitor is described; it is based on mean frequency shift in the electromyographic signal (EMG). The mean frequency of the EMG is obtained, in real time, from its power spectrum, with a 2 Hz resolution. This is made possible by combining novel hardware and software.
