Objective measurement of muscle fatigue.
Inform your training decisions!
Myocene is an FDA cleared device, intended to provide objective measures of muscle fatigue to inform athletic training decisions by coaches and athletes. It is for applications in sport practice, to be used on healthy individuals (athletes), 15 years of age or older, to carry out tests of the extensor muscles of the knee by quantitatively measuring the force of contraction of the healthy quadriceps muscles generated by voluntary contractions and induced by a specific associated powered muscle stimulator, and by using these forces to compute objective measures of quadriceps muscle fatigue.
This is a prescription device, to sale on the order of licensed athletic trainers, physiotherapists, medical doctors (MDs) or other healthcare professionals.
Myocene device
- Easy to use: bring the athlete on the device, connect the electrodes and start the test.
- Fast results: after two minutes the measurement is over and the fatigue index is available.
- Indoor or outdoor: the device can easily be carried on.
- Patented device: unique technology
The Myocene device is built around 3 pillars
Myo-sensor
Ultra-high sensitivity sensor, registered design.
Myo-contractor
Patented high precision control of muscle contraction.
Myo-AI
Accurate measurements established by a prorietary algorithm and AI.
The Myocene device makes the assessment of muscular fatigability in athletes available in the field. Better monitoring of fatigue helps to improve performance through appropriate training and reduces the risk of overtraining syndrome and injury.

Technology
Muscle fatigue is a loss of force. Myocene technology uses a combination of electro-stimulation and force sensing to accurately assess the force drop and deduce the corresponding fatigue.
Backed up by science
Technology validated
The Myocene device has been validated by Key Opinion Leaders in muscle fatigue. One of them published an article in a peer-reviewed journal:
Thanks to its ease and rapidity of use and its high accuracy, Myocene is now a benchmark device in muscle fatigue research. It can be used to explore and study muscle fatigue both in the field and in the laboratory and it offers limitless research opportunities thanks to its high usability and limited set up required. Several university laboratories and research and performance centers have been using the device in their studies on athletes fatigue and performance. Some published work:
