The objective of this article is to make the analysis of the muscular force response to optimize electrical pulses train using Ding et al. force-fatigue model. A geometric analysis of the dynamics is provided and very preliminary results are presented in the frame of optimal control using a simplified input-output model. In parallel, to take into account the physical constraints of the problem, partial state observation and input restrictions, an optimized pulses train is computed with a model predictive control, where a non-linear observer is used to estimate the state-variables.

Keywords: Muscular force and fatigue model, optimization of sampled-data control, non-linear observer, model predictive control.
