Recording set-up per Konrad 2005: Inter-electrode distance 2 cm (centre to centre) · Skin impedance: aim < 10 kΩ, up to 30 kΩ acceptable, above 50 kΩ prepare again · Band-pass 10–500 Hz · Sampling ≥ 1000 Hz · no notch filter

S1 M. Sartorius Sartorius · right · Thigh Anterior Literature

Position: Proximal anterior thigh, approx. 4 cm distal to the anterior superior iliac spine; stay proximal to minimise crosstalk from the rectus femoris
Orientation: Oblique along the muscle course (from the ASIS medially and distally), 2 cm inter-electrode distance
Signal check: Supine: flex and externally rotate the thigh while flexing the knee.
Crosstalk from: rectus femoris · iliopsoas · adductor magnus
