Method for assessing and optimizing muscular performance including a muscleprint protocol
First Claim
1. A muscle assessment protocol comprising:
- attaching one or more surface electromyometry (sEMG) sensors to skin of a subject so as to be operably coupled with one or more muscles of the subject;
operably coupling the one or more sEMG sensors to a computing system;
the subject performing a predetermined muscle activity of a muscle assessment protocol that includes a muscleprint protocol;
monitoring and/or recording sEMG data of the one or more muscles during the predetermined muscle activity; and
providing the sEMG data to the subject such that the subject can improve muscle performance for the predetermined muscle activity by using the sEMG data.

Abstract
A muscle assessment protocol can include: attaching one or more surface electromyometry (sEMG) sensors to the skin of a subject to be operably coupled with one or more muscles; operably coupling the one or more sEMG sensors to a computing system; performing the predetermined muscle activity of a muscle assessment protocol that includes one or more of a muscleprint protocol, stride rate tuning protocol, controlled activity training protocol, or frequency-based, or amplitude-adjusted root mean square protocol; monitoring/recording sEMG data of the one or more muscles during the predetermined muscle activity; and providing the sEMG data to the subject such that the subject can improve muscle performance for the predetermined muscle activity by using the sEMG data. The muscle activity includes static or dynamic muscle use. The predetermined muscle activity can be provided to the subject by the computing system.

10. A muscleprint protocol comprising:
-
attaching one or more surface electromyometry (sEMG) sensors to skin of a subject so as to be operably coupled with one or more muscles of the subject; operably coupling the one or more sEMG sensors to a computing system; performing a predetermined muscle activity of the muscleprint protocol, wherein in the muscleprint protocol the one or more sEMG sensors each monitor muscle sEMG data of the one or more muscles while the subject performs during the predetermined activity in order to determine the subject'"'"'s muscular capabilities of the one or more muscles over a defined period of time or portion thereof; monitoring and/or recording sEMG data of the one or more muscles during the predetermined muscle activity; and providing the sEMG data to the subject such that the subject can improve muscle performance for the predetermined muscle activity by using the sEMG data. - View Dependent Claims (16)
