Sound evoked triceps myogenic potentials.

Objective: To determine if a sound evoked myogenic potential could be obtained from the triceps with the recording and stimulus parameters routinely used to obtain a vestibular evoked myogenic potential (VEMP) from the sternocleidomastoid.

Study Design: Prospective study of myogenic potentials recorded from the triceps in healthy subjects. We used a monaural acoustic stimulus and measured the unrectified myogenic potential using surface electromyography electrodes, using response-triggered averaging, on the triceps of 18 subjects.
