Fascial Border Absence Between the Extensor Carpi Radialis Longus and Brachioradialis Muscles
US can assess for the presence or absence of intermuscular fascial borders. This assessment is important for accurate EMG needle placement and localization. While the clinical significance of an absent ECRL-BR fascial border is currently unknown, future studies should examine the effect of absent ECRL-BR fascial borders on wrist extension.
