INTRODUCTION
We studied the ability of clinicians to identify quadriceps motor points using a transcutaneous electrical stimulation unit (TENS).
METHODS
Twenty-two certified athletic trainers and 1 expert-rater identified the 7 motor points of the quadriceps at 2 time-points separated by 1 week. The difference was calculated between where each participant and the expert-rater identified each motor point using an x-y coordinate system. Bland-Altman plots were used to compare differences between 2 testing sessions.
RESULTS
No differences were observed between participants and the expert-rater for motor point location. The smallest variability in the limits of agreements were observed in the distal vastus medialis oblique (-1.89 to 1.86 cm) and proximal vastus lateralis (-1.61 to 2.35 cm).
DISCUSSION
Our results suggest the utilization of a TENS unit may be 1 way to identify quadriceps motor points to improve electrical stimulation applications. The smallest limits of agreement were over the most common quadriceps electrical stimulation electrode positions. Muscle Nerve 57: E1-E7, 2018.
引言
我们研究了临床医生使用经皮电刺激仪（TENS）识别股四头肌运动点的能力。
方法
22名认证的运动训练师和1名专家评估者在相隔1周的两个时间点识别股四头肌的7个运动点。使用x - y坐标系计算每个参与者与专家评估者识别每个运动点位置的差异。采用Bland - Altman图比较两次测试之间的差异。
结果
在运动点位置方面，参与者与专家评估者之间未观察到差异。在内侧股直肌远端（-1.89至1.86厘米）和外侧股直肌近端（-1.61至2.35厘米）观察到一致性界限内最小的变异性。
讨论
我们的结果表明，使用TENS装置可能是识别股四头肌运动点以改善电刺激应用的一种方法。最小的一致性界限出现在最常见的股四头肌电刺激电极位置上。《肌肉与神经》57: E1 - E7, 2018。
