1. A method of causing performance of commands at a computing device based on neuromuscular signals from thumb-initiated gestures, the method comprising:
receiving a sequence of neuromuscular signals indicating that a user is instructing a thumb on the user's hand to contact a portion of the user's hand, wherein the portion of the user's hand is associated with at least one input command available at a computing device;
in response to receiving the sequence of neuromuscular signals indicating that the user is instructing the thumb on the user's hand to contact the portion of the user's hand, providing data to the computing device to cause the computing device to perform the at least one input command;
receiving a second sequence of neuromuscular signals indicating that the user is instructing the thumb on the user's hand to contact the portion of the user's hand twice, wherein the portion of the user's hand is also associated with a second input command available at the computing device, and the second input command is distinct from the at least one input command; and
in response to receiving the second sequence of neuromuscular signals indicating that the user is instructing the thumb on the user's hand to contact the portion of the user's hand twice, providing data to the computing device to cause the computing device to perform the second input command.
