aka “medial plantar motor”
Stimulate 8-cm proximal to E1 (curved line around medial malleolus)
Electrode placement (use the bar electrode)
- E1 (black): Abductor hallucis brevis (AHB) muscle (drop off the navicular bone and go 1-cm proximal)
- E2 (red): Distally along the long axis of the foot
- Ground: Medial ankle (between stimulation and pickup)
Stimulation sites
- Two sites
- Ankle (medial)
- (-) Cathode (black): 8-cm proximal to E1 (measured line curving behind the medial malleolus)
- (+) Anode (red): proximal
- Popliteal fossa (mid)
- (-) Cathode (black): Popliteal fossa (middle)
- (+) Anode (red): proximal
Middle of the popliteal fossa
- Ankle (medial)
Additional Information
- Type of stimulation = Orthodromic
- CPT codes for nerve conduction studies
- 95900 Nerve conduction, amplitude and latency/velocity study, each nerve; motor, without F-wave study
- 95903 Nerve conduction, amplitude and latency/velocity study, each nerve; motor with F-wave study
- 95904 Nerve conduction, amplitude and latency/velocity study, each nerve; motor with F-wave study, each nerve; sensory
- 95934 H-reflex, amplitude and latency study; record gastrocnemius/soleus muscle
- 95936 Record muscle other than gastrocnemius/soleus muscle
