Methods for assessing and optimizing muscular performance including a frequency based, amplitude adjusted root mean square protocol
First Claim
1. A muscle assessment protocol comprising:
- a computer system communicating with one or more surface electromyometry (sEMG) sensors attached to skin of a subject so as to be operably coupled with one or more muscles of the subject;
the computing system monitoring and/or recording sEMG data of the one or more muscles during a predetermined muscle activity of the muscle assessment protocol that includes a frequency-based or amplitude-adjusted root mean square protocol; and
the computing system 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 a frequency-based, 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 muscle assessment protocol comprising:
-
a computing system communicating with one or more surface electromyometry (sEMG) sensors attached to skin of a subject so as to be operably coupled with one or more muscles of a subject; the one or more sEMG sensors being configured to be operably coupled to the computing system while a subject performs a predetermined muscle activity of an amplitude-adjusted root mean square protocol, wherein the frequency based, amplitude-adjusted root mean square protocol includes displaying sEMG data that is adjusted to compensate for muscle fatigue of the one or more muscles; 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 (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)

22. A system for performing a muscle assessment protocol comprising:
-
one or more surface electromyometry (sEMG) sensor means configured to be attached to skin of a subject so as to be operably coupled with one or more muscles of the subject; computing means configured to be operably coupled the one or more sEMG sensor means; the computing means further configured to display sEMG data that is adjusted to compensate for muscle fatigue of the one or more muscles when the subject performs a predetermined muscle activity of an amplitude-adjusted root mean square protocol; the computing means further configured to monitor and/or record sEMG data of the one or more muscles during the predetermined muscle activity.
