Influence of reference electrode position on the compound muscle action potential.

CONCLUSION: A proximal E2 position records a lower volume conducted signal and yields a CMAP that is more representative of the muscle over which the E1 (active) electrode is placed. SIGNIFICANCE: The proposed 'Proximal E2' montage may be better suited to assess pathology. PMID: 31794957 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
