Abstract:Abstract.[Purpose] We attempted to locate the motor points (MPs) of the tibialis anterior muscle (TA) for more effective neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES).[Subjects] We dissected 16 legs from 12 cadavers.[Methods] Branches of the deep peroneal nerve were traced to their entry into TA (MPs). We defined the FH-LM line connecting the fibular head to the lateral malleolus and the pFH-LM perpendicular to the FH-LM lines that ran through each MP. The distance from the fibular head to MPs projected on the F… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
