Abstract:
A method is presented for locating the positions of moving electromyographic needle electrodes relative to internal tendinous boundaries within the human masseter muscle. It combines scanning electromyography, needle electrode tracking, magnetic resonance imaging, and three-dimensional stereotactic reconstruction. The technique is useful for investigating motor unit territory within the masseter and other complex craniofacial muscles.
