Popis: In this study, we implemented a protocol for the robotic assessment of the effects of forearm muscle fatigue on wrist dynamics. The potential of robotic devices lies in the possibility to control and measure a wide variety of kinematic and physiological variables, both in repeated sessions over time and during real-time assessments. The implemented fatigue task is tailored to the robotically assessed single-subject maximal force and based on a real-time evaluation of muscle activity. The protocol resulted to be repeatable across sessions evaluated on the same subject and a preliminary step toward a better understanding of which features should be monitored to design a robust and strongly controlled dynamic fatiguing task.
