In functional electrical stimulation (FES), low frequency stimulation of approximately 20 Hz has primarily been used to reduce muscle fatigue. In the present study, the effects of catch-like property on muscle fatigue were analyzed using intermittent electrical stimulation. The results showed that, compared to conventional low frequency stimulation, low frequency stimulation taking advantage of the catch-like property significantly increased the maximum muscle force and workload and decreased muscle fatigue. The results of the present study suggest that catch-like property is useful in clinical administration of FES.}, pages = {153--160}, title = {Effects of Catch-Like Property on Muscle Fatigue in Intermittent Electrical Stimulation}, volume = {31}, year = {2004} }
