Abstract
A neuromuscular sensing method includes transmitting an electrical stimulus from a distal end portion of an elongate stimulator extending within an intracorporeal treatment area of a subject and detecting an artificially induced response of at least two muscles of the subject in response to the transmitted electrical stimulus, each response being detected by a respective sensor in mechanical communication with the muscle. A graphical user interface (GUI) is transitioned from a first state to a second state; the first state indicating to the transmission of a stimulus with no artificially induced response detected, and the second state indicating the detection of the artificially induced response of the at least two muscles, and further identifying one of the at least two muscles as a primary muscle response.
