Origin: L4-L5 roots, sacral plexus, sciatic nerve, peroneal nerve
Recording Site: Tibialis Anterior muscle (TA)
Reference Site: Top of Ankle
Ground: Medial lower leg
Stimulation Sites: Below the fibular head and knee
Procedure: The recording electrode is placed over the belly of the TA. The reference electrode is placed on the top of the ankle. Stimulation occurs below the fibular head and at the knee, directly under the biceps femoris tendon and parallel to the knee cap. There should be a minimum of 10cm between the two stimulation sites to accurately compute the conduction velocity.
