One study, by using body surface bony landmarks and a longitudinal reference line, has described the superior-inferior relationship between the "Extramuscular Motor Points" (equavelant to "Nerve Entry Points") of the gracilis, adductor longus, adductor brevis, and adductor magnus muscle. Another study used bonylandmarks and two reference lines, longitudinal and horizontal, and described the superior-inferior and the mediolateral relationships between the NEPs of these four muscles (Crystal et al., 2005; Kwon et al., 2009).
