HT3 (modified) AhShi 1 AhShi 2
34
What does HT stand for?
Heart
35
HT3 (modified) Target Tissue
Common Flexor Tendon
36
HT3 (Modified) Location, Needle Orientation, and Depth
Location: 1 CUN distal and lateral to AhShi1 (Just distal and anterior to the cubital crease) Needle Orientation: Perpendicular Depth: 40-50mm
37
AhShi 1 Target Tissue in Medial Epicondyle Protocol
CFT (Common Flexor Tendon) Teno-osseous Origin
38

Flexor Carpi Radialis
40
AhShi2 of Medial Epicondyle Protocol Location, Needle Orientation, and Depth
Location: 3 CUN distal and lateral to HT3 Needle Orientation: Perpendicular Depth: 40-50mm Precautions: Avoid deep needling in midline due to anterior interosseous artery and membrane (compartment syndrome)
41
