Fig. 1 Positioning and establishing recording electrode location. A tape measure was used to measure a distance of 23 cm distal to the acromion and 2–4 cm anterior to the mid axillary line over the serratus anterior muscle fibers. The active component of a standard bar electrode was affixed to the rib nearest to the 23 cm location and repositioned if a clear initial negative deflection from baseline could not be achieved within a range of 22–24 cm from the acromion.
