Intramuscular neural distribution of the vastus lateralis informs effective and safe botulinum neurotoxin injection [PDF]
Scientific ReportsUnderstanding the nerve distribution within the vastus lateralis muscle in relation to anatomical landmarks is essential for effective botulinum neurotoxin injections to manage chronic anterior knee pain and vastus lateralis muscle tone disorders.

The contribution of the tendon electrode to M‐wave characteristics in the biceps brachii, vastus lateralis and tibialis anterior [PDF]
Experimental Physiology, 2023 In some compound muscle action potentials (M waves) recorded using the belly–tendon configuration, the tendon electrode makes a noticeable contribution to the M wave. However, this finding has only been demonstrated in some hand and foot muscles.

Declines in skeletal muscle quality vs. size following two weeks of knee joint immobilization [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 Background Disuse of a muscle group, which occurs during bedrest, spaceflight, and limb immobilization, results in atrophy. It is unclear, however, if the magnitude of decline in skeletal muscle quality is similar to that for muscle size.
