A Proposed Safe Electromyographic Needle Insertion Technique for the Flexor Pollicis Longus Muscle Using Arterial Pulse Palpation: Preliminary Study with Ultrasonography

A Proposed Safe Electromyographic Needle Insertion Technique for the Flexor Pollicis Longus Muscle Using Arterial Pulse Palpation: Preliminary Study with Ultrasonography

Electromyographic needle access to the flexor pollicis longus (FPL) is challenging because of the risk of injuries to the superficial radial nerve (SRN) or radial artery (RA), which run close to the FPL. This study aimed to investigate the safe electromyographic needle insertion point of the FPL usi...
