Optimal Site of the Reference Electrode for Recording the Compound Muscle Action Potential of the Deltoid Muscle. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims For recording the compound muscle action potential (CMAP) of the deltoid muscle, the reference electrode over the acromion (Ac) has been used to avoid contamination of responses from other arm muscles to the distal tendon (DT). A recent article recommended the sternum (St) as the reference electrode.

Absence of the Musculocutaneous Nerve; Two Case Reports and Literature Review
The musculocutaneous nerve is important in the upper extremity because it provides motor innervation to the musculature of the anterior arm region and sensory innervation to the skin on the lateral side of the forearm region.

Rare median and musculocutaneous nerve fusion with intraoperative electrical confirmation: illustrative case. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Nerve transfer is a surgical technique in which a redundant or expendable fascicle is transferred or coapted to an injured nerve distal to the site of injury for the purpose of reinnervation.

The absent musculocutaneous nerve: A systematic review
The musculocutaneous nerve is occasionally absent in humans. Accordingly, there may be unforeseen clinical implications regarding the atypical innervation of the musculature otherwise supplied by the musculocutaneous nerve.

Communication between the median nerve and the musculocutaneous nerve: Occurrence and significance
Background: The median nerve and musculocutaneous nerve are nerves arising from the brachial plexus supplying the muscles of the arm and forearm. The communication between these nerves is of clinical importance in the traumatology of the shoulder joint ...

Variations in the Musculocutaneous and Median Nerves in a Single Cadaver [PDF]
Anomalies of the brachial plexus are of interest to academicians and clinicians. The Musculocutaneous Nerve (MCN) and the Median Nerve - the two branches of the brachial lexus may have several connections between them.

Anatomical study of variations of musculocutaneous nerve
Background and aim : The musculocutaneous nerve is responsible for the innervation of the flexor musculature of the elbow and the skin sensitivity from elbow to wrist by an anterior and posterior branch along the radial border of the forearm.

Anatomical Variations of the Musculocutaneous and Median Nerves: A Case Report
The musculocutaneous nerve is a large terminal branch of the lateral cord of the brachial plexus. It passes under the pectoralis minor and penetrates the coracobrachialis muscle, descending between the biceps brachii and brachialis muscles in the arm ...
