Synopsis	:	The primary goal of this book is to be able to reach the intended muscle by using simple techniques. Obtaining distances from easily recognizable anatomical landmarks are sufficient to acquire the target muscle and this is essential for the interpretation of the electrical findings. The fact that the muscles, especially in the upper and lower extremities are in close proximity to each other, and there is more than one nerve supply- ing the muscles in the limbs, makes this goal extremely important. The prop- er technique for each muscle was obtained after many anatomical dissec- tions. These dissections were performed at the Anatomy Laboratory of the Albert Einstein Collage of Medicine (A.E.C.O.M.) and were shared wit the residents of the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine and the Electrodiag- nostic Laboratory at Jacobi Hospital and at the Albert Einstein Hospital. We arrived at the conclusion that these techniques were very useful. At the suggestion of many readers of previous editions of this book, we have decided to incorporate information that describes the essentials of elec- tromyographic testing. Only needle electromyography will be described. Nerve conduction techniques will not be described because they are consid- ered to be outside the scope of the book.
