In order to assist human motion, we have been developing a compact and lightweight "Muscle Suit" which uses reliable McKibben type artificial muscles. The Muscle Suit physically supports the physical load of the wearer, and has high versatility and conveyance. The evaluation of effectiveness will become a key point on the development of the Muscle Suit. In this study, we used EMG that is used widely, in addition, used near-infrared spectroscopy (MRS) to indirectly measure the serum oxygenated hemoglobin and deoxygenated hemoglobin concentration of wearer's regional muscle, and attempted to evaluate the degree of fatigue.
