Methods and systems are disclosed herein for a media guidance application which may control a user device, which may receive a radio-frequency signal from a user device, corresponding to an electromyography signature received from a user. The media guidance application may also cross-reference the electromyography signature with first and second databases to determine an attempted user motion and a media guidance application operation corresponding to the electromyography signature. In response to determining the media guidance application operation to be performed, the media guidance application may perform said media guidance application operation on the user device.
