The specific branches leading to the genioglossus muscle: three-dimensional localisation using skin reference points
ConclusionsX can be estimated accurately using the relationship\(X = 0.2 \; {\text{dGH}}\).Y seems to be related to BMI andZ may be estimated with the relationship\(Z = 0.55 \; {\text{dGH}}\). This three-dimensional localisation could be very helpful to facilitate placement of cuff electrodes to manage refractory sleep apnea.
