Contents

Segment 1. The following muscles are stimulated with an electrode, using Faradic and Galvanic currents alternately: Brachial plexus with anterior thoracics, brachial plexus, deltoid and bicep. Some are also shown in slow motion. Time start: 00:00:00:00 Time end: 00:05:20:23 Length: 00:05:20:23
Segment 2. The following muscles are stimulated: Brachialis, triceps long head, triceps internal head, triceps external head, musculospiral nerve, and musc. brachioradialis. Time start: 00:05:20:23 Time end: 00:11:20:00 Length: 00:05:59:02
Segment 3. The following muscles are stimulated: Musc. extensor carpi radialis longior, musc. extensor carpi radialis brevior, musc. extensor communist digitorum, musc. extensor indicis proprius, musc. extensor minimi digiti, musc. extensor carpi ulnaris, musc. extensor pollicis longus, ulnar nerve proximal section. Some are shown in slow motion. Time start: 00:11:20:00 Time end: 00:16:50:23 Length: 00:05:30:23
Segment 4. The following muscles are stimulated: Musc. flexor carpi ulnaris, musc. flexor profundus digitorum, median nerve proximal section, musc. pronator radii teres, musc. flexor carpi radialis and palmaris longus and musc. flexor sublimis digitorum. Some are shown in slow motion as well. Time start: 00:16:50:23 Time end: 00:22:27:23 Length: 00:05:37:00
