Sticker vs. needle: muscle test showdown!
NCT ID NCT07579923
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study checks if sticky surface electrodes can measure muscle signals as well as standard needle electrodes. Thirty healthy adults will have their leg muscle activity recorded with both methods during a one-hour session. The goal is to see if the less invasive sticker method can replace needles for routine muscle testing.
