CONTRACTURE OF THE QUADRICEPS MUSCLE

The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. British volume, 1964
1. Contracture of parts of the quadriceps muscle is not uncommon and is often accompanied by tightness of the ilio-tibial tract. It is suggested that this may follow intramuscular injections. 2. Recurrent dislocation of the patella can be a consequence of this muscle contracture. 3.

Biarticular and monoarticular muscle activation and injury in human quadriceps muscle

European Journal of Applied Physiology, 2001
We hypothesized that activation of the quadriceps femoris muscle group during eccentric exercise is related to the increase in magnitude of several markers of muscle injury that developed during the next week. Fourteen male subjects performed six to eight sets of five to ten repetitions of single-leg eccentric-only seated knee extension exercise ...

Quadriceps Muscle Group Excision

2006
The quadriceps muscle group is the most common site for extremity soft-tissue sarcomas. The most common sarcomas at this site are liposarcomas, malignant fibrohistiocytomas, and leiomyosarcomas. Although tumors of the anterior thigh can be extremely large prior to diagnosis, approximately 95% of these lesions may be resected.

Electrical Stimulation in Exercise of the Quadriceps Femoris Muscle

Physical Therapy, 1979
Thirty-seven healthy subjects took part in an investigation to determine if the application of electrical stimulation to normal muscle, in combination with exercise, augments strength. Subjects were divided into three groups. Grwoup A (n = 14) was a control group (no exercise, no electrical stimulation).

Quadriceps Muscle Fatigue in Trained and Untrained Boys

International Journal of Sports Medicine, 2012
This study aimed to explore muscle oxygen extraction and muscle activation pattern during bilateral intermittent submaximal isometric knee-extensions by combining Near-infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) and Electromyography (EMG) measurements from the M. Vastus Lateralis.

Significance of the Strength of the Quadriceps Muscles in Children with Myelomeningocele

Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics, 1987
A study of 109 patients with myelomeningocele indicates that useful assessment of quadriceps power can be made during the first 3 years of life. In 21 of 22 patients assessed in those years as having grade 4 quadriceps power, an increase in power was observed in ensuing years, but no such trend was observed in patients with less quadriceps power.

Atrophy of the quadriceps muscle in children with a painful hip

Clinical Physiology, 1999
The objective of this study was to determine the degree of muscle wasting of various components of the quadriceps muscle in children with a painful hip. Between January 1994 and September 1997, 327 consecutive children with a unilateral painful hip and/or limping were evaluated prospectively with ultrasonography.

Excision of quadriceps muscle group.

Surgery, 1983
Excision of the quadriceps muscle group may be selected for definitive treatment of intracompartmental soft tissue sarcomas within this muscle group. After a skin incision is made from anterosuperior iliac spine to the patella, skin flaps are dissected superficial to the fascia lata to the flexor muscles laterally and to the gracilis muscle medially ...

[Muscle strength and muscle blood flow of the quadriceps muscle].

Nihon Seikeigeka Gakkai zasshi, 1995
This study was conducted to measure muscle blood flow changes during increased muscle strength in order to determine what characteristic parameters of muscle strength were most closely correlated with increased muscle blood flow. The muscle blood flow and muscle strength in the quadriceps femoris were measured simultaneously during isokinetic extension

Quadriceps muscle injuries in athletes: a narrative review

British Journal of Radiology
Abstract The quadriceps muscles are a large group of 4 muscles in the anterior compartment of the thigh, comprising the rectus femoris, vastus medialis, vastus intermedius, and vastus lateralis, which in combination act as the primary extensors of the knee joint. The rectus femoris is also responsible for hip joint flexion.
