Abstract(in English) Early occurrence of muscle fatigue is one of problems on FES. We have studied muscle fatigue evaluation using M-waves related to stimulation including double pulses. The stimulation experiment using double pulses with different inter pulse interval (IPI) suggested M-wave evoked by double pulse with short IPI reflected activity of fast type muscle fiber. M-waves evoked by double pulses stimulation with different IPI had a possibility of evaluating progress of muscle fatigue. The long time stimulation experiment suggested value of parameters of M-waves, which related to conduction velocity (CV), changed earlier than muscle force decrease. Therefore, parameters related to CV can be used for early diagnosis of muscle fatigue. We showed that the M-waves evoked by double pulses provided useful estimation of muscle force than M-waves evoked by single pulse.
