Abstract (EN): Repetitive movement is commonly observed in daily-life activities. Exposure to it for a long period of time can cause muscle fatigue. The aim of this study was to examine and present the applications of muscle fatigue/muscle activity assessment during the repetitive movement by using multi-channel surface EMG. The systematic searches were conducted over 35 electronic databases, through the search methods type of integrated and metasearch. Four studies were included in the review. Two of them were associated with one-dimensional array surface EMG, and another two studies were involved with two-dimensional array surface EMG. Both types and their utilization of advanced mathematic algorithm were capable to evaluate EMG signal during dynamic tasks. In order to have the higher accuracy and reliable results, the two-dimensional array surface EMG is required, due to its multiple detection sites can provide greater information detected over larger muscle fiber area. © 2015 Taylor & Francis Group, London.
