Claim 18:
19. A wearable device for causing performance of commands at a computing device based on neuromuscular signals from thumb-initiated gestures, the wearable device comprising:
a plurality of electrodes for detecting 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; and
a processor communicatively coupled with the plurality of electrodes, the processor configured to:
receive the sequence of neuromuscular signals indicating that the user is instructing the thumb on the user's hand to contact a portion of the user's hand; and
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, provide data to the computing device to cause the computing device to perform the at least one input command;
receive 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, provide data to the computing device to cause the computing device to perform the second input command.
