Systems and methods for guiding users to perform detectable biopotential-based gestures tied to specific motor units, and actionable feedback associated therewith

A method for operating a wearable device, comprising:

• presenting, via a communicatively coupled output device, first instructions for performing a first movement associated with an activation of a first biological motor unit;
• obtaining, from one or more biopotential sensors of the wearable device, while the wearable device is positioned at a first location relative to a user's body, first biopotential sensor data captured during performance of the first movement;
• in accordance with a determination that the first biopotential sensor data satisfies a gesture mapping threshold, associating a first representation of the first biopotential sensor data with a first gesture;
• obtaining, from the one or more biopotential sensors of the wearable device, while the wearable device is positioned at a second location relative to the user's body, second biopotential sensor data captured during performance of a second movement, wherein the second location is different from the first location;
• in accordance with a determination that the wearable device has been repositioned, associating a second representation of the second biopotential sensor data with the first gesture;
• obtaining, from the one or more biopotential sensors of the wearable device, while the wearable device is positioned at the second location relative to the user's body, third biopotential sensor data captured during performance of a third movement;
• and
• determining that the third movement corresponds to the first gesture, based on the third biopotential sensor data and the second representation of the second biopotential sensor data.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including executable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:

• present, via an output device communicatively coupled to a wearable device, first instructions for performing a first movement associated with an activation of a first biological motor unit;
• obtain, from one or more biopotential sensors of the wearable device, while the wearable device is positioned at a first location relative to a user's body, first biopotential sensor data captured during performance of the first movement;
• in accordance with a determination that the first biopotential sensor data satisfies a gesture mapping threshold, associate a first representation of the first biopotential sensor data with a first gesture;
• obtain, from the one or more biopotential sensors of the wearable device, while the wearable device is positioned at a second location relative to the user's body, second biopotential sensor data captured during performance of a second movement, wherein the second location is different from the first location;
