Claim 0:
1. A method of determining a muscle fatigue of a muscle, comprising the steps of:
(i) generating electrostimulation charges at different frequencies by a device, wherein the device is adapted to provide the electrostimulation charges to the muscle;
(ii) determining forces developed by the muscle in response to the electrostimulations of step (i); and
(iii) determining a muscle fatigue on basis of the forces determined at step (ii),
wherein:
the frequencies comprise a minimal frequency smaller than 50 Hz;
the frequencies comprise a family of frequencies smaller than 200 Hz and integer multiple of the minimal frequency; and
step (iii) comprises:
a computation of a discrete integral of a function associating, to each frequency of the family, a force determined at step (ii) developed by the muscle in response to the electrostimulation of step (i) at this frequency; and
a determination of the muscle fatigue based on the computed discrete integral.
