Abstract
Complaints such as pain, numbness, languidness, dizziness, sleeplessness, lumbago are often caused by muscular fatigue. In order to measure such muscular fatigue or pain we developed a piece of equipment based on electromyograms. Fatigued muscles usually show (1) stiffness and reduction of flexibility, (2) pains and numbness, (3) reduction of muscular strength and (4) increased electromyographic discharge.
