Brief summary
Does movement of hand from supination to pronation affect the cut threshold for electomyography (EMG) relaxation measurement Does the threshold level differ between adductor pollucis and dorsal interosseus muscle
Interventions
EMG measurement from adductor pollucis and dorsal interosseus muscles in supination and pronation using increasing stimulation current
