Is it truly impossible to strengthen the vastus medialis in isolation from the entire quadriceps muscle group? [PDF]

Heliyon
Background: To date, no specific exercises have been designed to selectively strengthen the vastus medialis muscle. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to provide a clear answer to the question: Is it truly impossible to strengthen the vastus ...

Dose atrophy of vastus medialis obliquus and vastus lateralis exist in patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome [PDF]

Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research, 2021
Background Whether vastus medialis obliquus atrophy exists in patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome and whether the amount of atrophy differs between the vastus medialis obliquus and vastus lateralis muscles remain unknown.

Neuromechanical Properties of the Vastus Medialis and Vastus Lateralis in Adolescents With Patellofemoral Pain. [PDF]

Orthop J Sports Med, 2023
Background: An alteration in the force distribution among quadriceps heads is one possible underlying mechanism of patellofemoral pain. However, this hypothesis cannot be directly tested as there are currently no noninvasive experimental techniques to measure individual muscle force or torque in vivo in humans ...

The distal vastus medialis artery – a novel recipient vessel in free flap reconstruction of the knee [PDF]

JPRAS Open
Free flap reconstruction around the knee is challenging given a paucity of suitable recipient vessels. Traditional recipient vessels frequently require specific positioning other than supine (limiting flap selection), have variable anatomy, and are ...

The Boundary of the Vastus Medialis Oblique and the Vastus Medialis Longus

Journal of Physical Therapy Science, 2005
There are no well-defined or documented boundaries for either the vastus medialis oblique or for the vastus medialis longus. The purpose of this study was to examine anatomically the boundaries of the vastus medialis longus and the vastus medialis oblique.

The relationship between the femoral artery and vastus medialis muscle coverage at the adductor hiatus during medial closed wedge distal femoral osteotomy in valgus knees [PDF]

Journal of Experimental Orthopaedics
Purpose The purpose of this study was to examine the location where the femoral artery contacts the vastus medialis at the adductor tendon hiatus, which is important when using the subvastus approach in medial closed wedge distal femoral osteotomy.

Ultrasound measurement of vastus lateralis and vastus medialis muscle parameters to identify chronic thyrotoxic myopathy [PDF]

Endocrine Connections, 2023
Introduction: Chronic thyrotoxic myopathy (CTM) is a common, easily neglected complication of hyperthyroidism. There are currently no standard diagnostic criteria for CTM, and the ultrasonic characteristics of CTM-affected skeletal muscle remain unclear.
