Adductor Longus (Add Long L)
The M. Adductor Longus (Adductor Longus) is a muscle of the hip region. It is responsible for hip adduction, flexion and external rotation. This muscle is not covered by the official SENIAM catalogue — placement is based on established clinical literature. This page documents the exact electrode position, anatomical attachments and a standardized test movement based on Hermens et al. (2000).

This muscle has no SENIAM-standardized electrode position. Placement should be based on anatomical knowledge.
The electrode is placed — what next? easyEMG visualises muscle activity in real time, with SENIAM-compliant placement guidance, up to 4 channels at once and biofeedback training right afterwards.
In rehabilitation, the Adductor Longus is typically recorded to track progress and retrain activation.
