Morphological Differences of Knee Extensor Muscles Between Women With and Without Lateral Patellar Compression Syndrome [PDF]
Ṭibb-i Tavānbakhshī, 2022 Background and Aims: The morphology of knee joint extensor muscles including vastus medialis (VM) and vastus lateralis (VL), is one of the important and effective factors in lateral patellar compression syndrome (LPCS).

International Journal of Sports Physical Therapy, 2022 # Background Maintenance of patellar stability requires a balance between the vastus medialis oblique (VMO) and the vastus lateralis (VL). The imbalance between these muscles is thought to be implicated in the etiology of patellofemoral pain (PFP ...

Pennation angle of vastus laterallis during isometric contractions performed at two knee angles [PDF]
Fisioterapia em Movimento, 2017 Abstract Introduction: The pennation angle (PA) of a muscle is not static value, but it adapts to the conditions imposed by the contraction intensity required. Objective: This study investigates the effect of knee angle (KA) and intensity of contraction (IC) on PA of vastus lateralis (VL).

Muscle Architecture of Leg Muscles: Functional and Clinical Significance
Acta Medica Lituanica, 2023 Background. Architectural properties of the muscles are the prime predictors of functional attributes and force-generating capacity of the muscles. This data is vital for musculoskeletal modelling and selecting the appropriate muscle–tendon units for ...
