Abstract
A method of adjusting a neuromuscular-signal sensor is provided. The method includes monitoring, based on data from a wearable device that includes a neuromuscular-signal sensor, an impedance at the sensor that impacts the neuromuscular-signal sensor's ability to sense neuromuscular signals. The neuromuscular-signal sensor is coupled to the wearable device such that it contacts a portion of a user's skin. In response to detecting a change in the impedance at the neuromuscular-signal sensor that causes the impedance to be outside of a predefined range of impedance values, the method includes causing an adjustment to an operational characteristic (e.g., causing the neuromuscular-signal sensor to move or adjusting an electrical characteristic) associated with the neuromuscular-signal sensor such that the impedance at the neuromuscular-signal sensor is within the predefined range of impedance values after the adjustment to the operational characteristic.
