Description
The Human Stress & Fatigue Research Kit is a ready-to-use physiological acquisition solution designed to assess physiological stress and muscular load during physically demanding or repetitive tasks. It enables synchronized monitoring of cardiac, respiratory, electrodermal, and multi-site muscle activity to characterize how the body responds under sustained effort or operational strain.
With four EMG channels, the kit supports simultaneous recording from multiple muscle groups, allowing detailed analysis of muscle recruitment patterns and localized fatigue. The included Muscle Load add-on derives quantitative indicators of muscular load from EMG signals, supporting the assessment of muscle activity and fatigue over time.
This kit is suited for researchers and professionals in ergonomics, occupational health, human performance, and fatigue studies conducting laboratory or field-based assessments. PLUX software is available for real-time signal visualization and structured data recording.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
-
What exactly is included in the Human Stress & Fatigue Research Kit?
The Human Stress & Fatigue Research Kit includes a complete biosignalsplux setup for synchronized physiological data acquisition, based on an 8-channel wireless hub and a predefined set of sensors (ECG, RIP, EDA and four EMG sensors).
It also includes all essential and sensor-specific accessories required for proper data acquisition, ensuring a ready-to-use setup without additional system integration.
-
What is the Muscle Load Add-on?
The Muscle Load Add-on provides quantitative indicators of muscular load derived from EMG signals. It enables the analysis of muscle activity and fatigue over time, supporting the assessment of muscle recruitment patterns during sustained or repetitive tasks.
-
Is the kit modular or fixed, and can sensors be added or removed?
The kit is delivered as a predefined configuration, while remaining compatible with the modular biosignalsplux ecosystem. Users can add, remove or replace sensors as needed, with support for up to 8 sensors simultaneously using the included hub.
-
Is the kit suitable for studies involving participant movement or dynamic tasks?
Yes. The kit is designed to support studies involving participant movement and physically demanding or repetitive tasks.
Its wireless design enables physiological data acquisition in mobile scenarios, supporting applications such as ergonomics assessments, occupational studies and performance monitoring under sustained effort.
-
How can recorded data be exported and used for offline analysis?
Recorded data can be exported using PLUX software tools such as Biosignals Studio, in structured formats suitable for further processing in external analysis tools or custom workflows.
This enables detailed offline analysis of physiological signals, including muscular load and fatigue over time.
