Myocene
The Myocene device is intended to provide objective measures of muscle fatigue to inform athletic training decisions by coaches and athletes. It is for applications in sport practice, to be used on healthy individuals (athletes), 15 years of age or older, to carry out tests of the extensor muscles of the knee by quantitatively measuring the force of contraction of the healthy quadriceps muscles generated by voluntary contractions and induced by a specific associated powered muscle stimulator, and by using these forces to compute objective measures of quadriceps muscle fatigue
Details
Device typeQuadriceps fatigue electrostimulation analyser: An electrically-powered device intended to measure muscle fatigue of the quadriceps based on the force of muscle contraction under: 1) noninvasive electrical stimulation at different electrical impluse frequencies (long-term peripheral muscle fatigue); and 2) voluntary exertion before and after exercise (global muscle fatigue). It is in the form of a seat unit with an integrated electrical stimulator, a shin rest with an integrated dynamometer (force sensor), and electrode leads/cables connection points. Muscle fatigue data is typically based on the ratio of force output under different conditions and is analysed and viewed on a connected off-the-shelf computer (not included).
