Table 1.

Eight investigated muscles and the corresponding EMG/MMG sensor placement.

Muscle EMG/MMG Sensor Placement
Ankle dorsiflexor:
tibialis anterior (TA)

  • One-third of the way from the tip of the fibula to the tip of the medial malleolus [30];
Ankle plantarflexor:
medial gastrocnemius (MG)

  • On the most prominent bulge of the muscle [30];
Knee extensor:
rectus femoris (RF)

  • Halfway from the superior boarder of the patella to the ASIS [30];
Knee flexor:
semitendinosus (ST)

  • Halfway from the medial epicondyle of the tibia to the ischial tuberosity [30];
Hip flexor:
sartorius (SA)

  • At 8 cm distal from the ASIS along the line between the ASIS and the median of the tibial tuberosity [31];
Hip extensor:
gluteus maximus (GMax)

  • Halfway from the greater trochanter to the sacral vertebrae [30];
Hip abductor:
gluteus medius (GMed)

  • Halfway from the greater trochanter to the highest point of iliac crest [30];
Hip adductor:
adductor maximus (AM)

  • Halfway from the medial femoral epicondyle to the pubic tubercle [32].
