Abstract
MuscleSense studies real-time wearable feedback for muscle effort awareness, making muscle activation audible for eyes-free in-the-loop regulation.

MuscleSense explores how wearable physiological sensing can turn muscle effort into actionable, eyes-free feedback for movement awareness, training, and rehabilitation. It emphasizes feedback-oriented state inference, mobile deployment, and closed-loop user regulation during lower-limb exercise.
