A wearable article (1) includes a sensor assembly (104) for sensing biosignals of a wearer of the wearable article, and an electronic device (102) that can be attached to the sensor assembly to receive and the process biosignals. The electronic device is detachable from the garment and includes a housing (128a, 128b). The electronic device is retained in place by means of a magnet (132) within the housing which cooperates with a magnet on the garment. The sensor assembly includes a sensing electrodes and conductors (112; 122a) which couple the sensing electrodes to an interface that is configured to couple the sensed biosignals to the electronic device. The electronic device attaches to the garment at the interface. The electronic device includes one or more contacts (138b) which engage with the interface at the conductors so that biosignals can be coupled to the electronic device. The garment can also include a locating ring (130) to help locate the electronic device on the garment. The electronic device can be easily attached by a wearer, for example with the use of only one hand.

A method of treating spasticity uses a garment worn on a target anatomy so as to arrange electrodes on an inner surface of the garment contacting the skin of the target anatomy. Using an electronic processor, a spasticity treatment cycle is performed. The spasticity treatment cycle is initiated by providing a human-perceptible prompt to initiate a spastic event, or by triggering the spastic event by applying electrical stimulation to at least a portion of the target anatomy using the electrodes. Thereafter, electromyography (EMG) signals are measured from the target anatomy using the electrodes. One or more spasm regions in the target anatomy are identified based on the EMG signals. Targeted treatment of the one or more spasm regions is performed using neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES), or is directed to be performed by displaying a representation of the target anatomy with the one or more spasm regions indicated on the representation.
