1 Anatomic motor point localization for partial quadriceps block in spasticity

2 Fig. 1 Schematic representation of the vasti and their nerves and anatomic landmarks. Point F is the issuing spot of the femoral nerve under the femoral arcade at one finger-width lateral to the femoral artery. Point R is the middle of the superior edge of the patella. Distance FR is the segment joining F and R, which indicates thigh height. Point M is the motor point of the vastus intermediate nerve. Point M orthogonal projection on segment FR defines the point M′. The distance FM′ is the point M′ and the point M absolute vertical coordinate (FM′ = FM). The horizontal coordinate of point M is the absolute distance MM′.
