Muscle	Voltage electrode locations	Current electrode locations
Biceps Brachii	V1, 2.5 cm from insertion of tendon, V2, 12.5 cm proximal to V1	Palms of hands
Forearm Flexors	V1, 10 cm below antecubital fossa, V2 2.5 cm below antecubital fossa	Palms of hands
Quadriceps	V1, 12.5 cm proximal to top of patella; V2, 17.5 cm proximal to V1	Dorsum of feet
