A mobility augmentation system configures electrodes of a wearable stimulation array to operate in measurement and intervention modes to detect hyperexcitability of one or more muscles of a user. In the measurement mode, electrodes of the array measure electromyography (EMG) signals from one or more muscles of a user. If the measured EMG signal indicates muscle hyperexcitability, the set of electrodes is configured to operate in the intervention mode and applies an intervention signal to the muscle(s). After the intervention signal is applied, the set of electrodes are reconfigured to return to the measurement mode and a second EMG signal is measured. In response to determining that the intervention signal did not reduce the hyperexcitability of the muscle(s) by at least a threshold amount, the electrodes are returned to the intervention mode and apply a second intervention signal based on the second EMG signal.
A method comprising:
A wearable stimulation array comprising a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions for execution and a hardware processor configured to execute the instructions, the instructions, when executed, cause the hardware processor to perform steps comprising:
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing executable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform steps comprising:
