  • Methods and apparatus for improved signal robustness for a wearable neuromuscular recording device
    Patent number: 11045137
    Abstract: Arrangements for improving neuromuscular recording electrode contact with a body surface are described. According to some aspects, a sensor assembly may include a housing and one or more electrodes that are moveable relative to the housing. The electrodes may rotate and/or translate relative to the housing and/or have at least two degrees of freedom relative to the housing. The sensor may include a spring element that stores potential energy and biases the electrodes toward a starting position in which the electrodes extend at least partially out of the sensor housing. In some embodiments, application of a contact force to one or more of the electrodes of the sensor compresses the spring element, causing the spring element to store potential energy.
