1. An implantable electrical sensing node, comprising:
one or more electrodes to sense muscle activity;
a processor;
memory in electronic communication with the processor; and
instructions stored in the memory and operable, when executed by the processor, to cause the implantable electrical sensing node to:
receive configuration instructions during a configuration phase;
store a set of sensing profiles based at least in part on the received configuration instructions;
receive, from the one or more electrodes, sensed input during a sensing phase, wherein the received sensed input comprises an electromyography (EMG) signal sensed by the one or more electrodes;
determine, based on the received sensed input, a sensing profile from the set of sensing profiles, wherein the sensing profile defines i) a bandwidth limit for a communication link to a hub, and ii) at least one limit for a parameter of a waveform of the EMG signal;
apply the sensing profile to the received sensed input to form a reduced set of the received sensed input, wherein an amount of data in the reduced set of the received sensed input is reduced compared to an amount of data in the received sensed input, and wherein the reduced set of the received sensed input includes portions of the EMG signal that meet the at least one limit for the parameter of the waveform of the sensed EMG signal; and
transmit, over the communication link, the reduced set of the received sensed input to the hub at a rate that does not exceed the bandwidth limit.
