Abstract A new approach for quantifying muscle fatigue is presented by analyzing the deterministic complexity in the surface electromyogram(SEMG) using Permutation Lempel-Ziv(PLZ) complexity measure. The PLZ complexity measure provide a metric for the number of distinct deterministic patterns in signals by combining permutation patterns and Lempel-Ziv complexity analysis. For muscle fatigue experiment by using PLZ complexity measure, surface EMG signals from eleven subjects were recorded in biceps brachii muscle with constant isometric 20, 50, and 80%MVC contractions. The PLZ complexity measure is evaluated with the performance of muscle fatigue estimation for the SEMG signals compared to the performance of previous reported LZ complexity measure. This PLZ complexity measure has advantages that is computationally easy to compute and does not require any assumptions about the stationarity of the SEMG signal.
