| Muscle | Electrodes position |
|---|---|
| Deltoid | Mid-distance between the acromion and the humeral tuberosity (Hermens et al., 2000) |

| Serratus anterior | On the lateral border of the chest anterior to the latissimus dorsi and posterior to the pectoralis major (Maenhout et al., 2010) |
| Middle trapezius | At T3 level between the medial border of the scapula and the spine (Hermens et al., 2000) |
| Lower trapezius | At 2/3 on the line from the scapula spine to T8 (Hermens et al., 2000) |
| Erector spinae | Approximately 3 cm lateral to the spinous process at L3 level (Fenwick et al., 2009) |
