Electrodiagnostic Examination of the Tibial Nerve in Clinically Normal Ferrets
Figure 1
(a) Schematic representation of the points of stimulation and recording of the electrodiagnostic tests. Red dot: plantar interosseous muscles. Blue dot: stimulation of the sciatic-tibial nerve at the tarsus. Green dot: stimulation of the sciatic-tibial nerve at the femoral neck. Orange dot: recording of the CDP at the intervertebral space L4-L5. (b) Image of MNCS of the right sciatic-tibial nerve showing the points of insertion of the needle electrodes used for proximal stimulation (red and white wires) distal stimulation (blue and black wires), and recording (white and black wires). The single red and white wire whose needle is inserted between distal stimulation and recording is the ground electrode. (c) Image of the CDP test of the right tibial nerve showing the points of insertion of the needle electrodes used for stimulation (blue and black wires) and recording (white and black wires). The red and white wires whose needles are inserted between stimulation and recording are the ground electrode and the electrodes used for the proximal stimulation during MNCS.
