Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) is a promising technique that has the potential to restore functional tasks in persons with movement disorders. Clinical and commercial NMES products exist for this purpose, but a pervasive problem with current technology is that overstimulation of the muscle (among other factors) leads to muscle fatigue. The objective of the current effort is to develop a NMES controller that incorporates the effects of muscle fatigue through an uncertain function of the calcium dynamics. A neural network-based estimate of the fatigue model mismatch is incorporated in a nonlinear controller through a backstepping based method to control the human quadriceps femoris muscle undergoing non-isometric contractions. The developed controller is proven to yield uniformly ultimately bounded stability for an uncertain nonlinear muscle model in the presence of bounded nonlinear disturbances (e.g., spasticity, delays, changing load dynamics).

This research was concerned with studying the development and growth of perceived effort of long-term isometric contractions as a function of muscle group (biceps vs quadriceps), of subjects with different age groups (20–29 vs. 50–59 years old) on long-term muscular isometric contractions (5 minutes) at different levels of %MVC (20, 40, 60, 80 and 100 %MVC). An experiment testing 20 subjects each performing 10 conditions (two muscle groups × five levels of %MVC) showed that the older age group reported Significantly higher perceived exertion at higher levels of %MVC and across time. Furthermore, subjects experienced a higher and faster increase in their perceived exertion when the level of %MVC and time increased.
