Surface Electromyography Electrode Placement
| Muscle | Action | Placement |
|---|---|---|
| Anterior deltoid | Internal rotation | 1 finger width distal and anterior to the acromion, oriented along the line between the acromion and the thumb23 |
| Pectoralis major | Internal rotation | 2 finger widths below the midpoint of the clavicle, oriented along the line between the sternoclavicular joint and the anterior axillary fold24 |
| Latissimus dorsi | Internal rotation | 3 finger widths distal to and along the posterior axillary fold, oriented along the line between the posterior axillary fold and L324 |
| Teres major | Internal rotation | 3 finger widths above the inferior angle of the scapula, along the lateral border, oriented along the line between the posterior axillary fold and inferior angle24 |
| Infraspinatus | External rotation | 2 to 3 finger widths below the scapular spine, at the midpoint between the posterior acromion and the trigonum spinae, oriented parallel to the scapular spine24 |
| Posterior deltoid | External rotation | 2 finger widths behind the angle of the acromion, oriented along the line between the acromion and the little finger23 |
