- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>If the innervation zone can indeed be reliably located using HDsEMG:<br /><br>the distance [mm] between this location and the location as estimated using the<br /><br>bony landmark method.</p><br>
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>Variability in innervation zone location as a function of test condition, i.e.<br /><br>of elbow and wrist joint angles, level of isometric contraction and stimulation<br /><br>method (i.e. voluntary contraction on various levels of force, reflex induction<br /><br>by an external stretching force, or electrical stimulation).</p><br>
