System and method for determining muscle dysfunction

A system for determining muscle dysfunction of a subject, the system comprising:

• (a) a plurality of electrical activity sensors for measuring electrical activity at a respective plurality of sites on the subject;
• and
• (b) a processor for determining adipose thickness factors based on at least one general characteristic of the subject for the plurality of sites on the subject, and for analyzing the electrical activity and determining therefrom analysis values for a plurality of muscles, each of the plurality of muscles corresponding to a respective one of the plurality of sites, wherein determining analysis values comprises factoring the adipose thickness factors into the measured electrical activity.

A system for determining muscle dysfunction of a subject, the system comprising:

• (a) a plurality of electrical activity sensors for making electrical activity measurements for a respective plurality of sites on the subject;
• and
• (b) a processor for analyzing the electrical activity measurements and determining therefrom analysis values for each of a plurality of muscles, and determining for each of the plurality of muscles a degree of departure from a normal condition by normalizing the analysis values with respect to the plurality of muscles.

A computer readable medium having stored therein one or more sequences of instructions for analyzing for muscle dysfunction of a subject, said one or more sequences of instructions causing one or more processors to perform a plurality of acts, said acts comprising:

• (a) calculating adipose thickness factors for a predetermined plurality of sites on the subject;
• and
• (b) analyzing electrical activity measurements and determining therefrom analysis values for a plurality of muscles, each of the plurality of muscles corresponding to a respective one of the plurality of sites, and in determining the analysis values, factoring the adipose thickness factors into the electrical activity measurements.

A system for determining muscle dysfunction of a subject, the system comprising:

• (a) a means for making electrical activity measurements for a respective plurality of sites on the subject;
• and
• (b) a means for analyzing the electrical activity measurements and determining therein analysis values for each of a plurality of muscles from the electrical activity measurements, and for determining from the analysis values for each of the plurality of muscles a degree of departure from a normal condition by normalizing the analysis values with respect to the plurality of muscles.
