Overview of the experimental setup. (A) Percutaneous electrical stimulation of the sciatic nerve with the cathode over the sciatic notch illustrated for the right leg. Proper skin preparation was essential under all stimulating electrodes. (B) Schematic of the branching of the sciatic nerve to the two target muscles: tibialis anterior (TA) and soleus (SOL). Other muscles of the lower leg were denervated: medial gastrocnemius (MG), plantaris (PL). The distal portion of the lateral gastrocnemius (LG) muscle was excised to reduced artifact from LG into electromyographic (EMG) recordings from SOL.
