Abstract (EN): Muscle fatigue has been documented in various occupations. The aim of this study was to evaluate the applications of High Density surface Electromyography (HD-sEMG), in context of its variables/factors correlating with muscle fatigue, beside with its feasibility and reliability in muscle fatigue assessment. The search was performed over 33 electronic databases through integrated and metasearch search methods. Seven studies were included in the review. Four of them associated with HD-sEMG applications in muscle fatigue assessment and three other studies involving with reliability in muscle fatigue assessment. Evaluation by HD-sEMG is feasible and reliable in muscle fatigue assessment. There are many variables/factors correlated with muscle fatigue. Its reliability in terms of repetition and reproducibility of a diagnosis were also proved. This review indicates that applications of HD-sEMG are feasible and reliable in order to assess muscle fatigue whether static or dynamic contraction.
