Abstract
A sensing device for detecting an artificially induced neuromuscular response within a limb of a subject includes a plurality of mechanical sensors, wireless communication circuitry, and a processor in electrical communication with each of the plurality of mechanical sensors and wireless communication circuitry. Each sensor is operative to monitor a mechanical response of a different muscle group of the limb and generate a mechanomyography (MMG) output signal corresponding to the monitored motion. The processor receives and buffers a portion of each MMG output signal, determines if the MMG output signal from any one or more of the plurality of mechanical sensors is representative of an artificially induced neuromuscular response, and transmits one or more of the buffered MMG output signals to a host system only if the output signal from one or more of the sensors is determined to be representative of an artificially induced neuromuscular response.
