Do the vastus medialis obliquus and vastus medialis longus really exist? A systematic review

open access: yesClinical Anatomy, 2008
Abstract There remains controversy over whether the vastus medialis (VM) is a single anatomical structure or whether it is composed of two separate portions, the vastus medialis longus (VML) proximally and the vastus medialis obliquus (VMO) distally.

Myoelectric manifestations of fatigue in vastus lateralis, medialis obliquus and medialis longus muscles

open access: yesJournal of Electromyography and Kinesiology, 2008
The purpose of this study was to determine whether surface electromyography (EMG) assessment of myoelectric manifestations of muscle fatigue is capable of detecting differences between the vastus lateralis and medialis muscles which are consistent with the results of previous biopsy studies.

Differential activation of the vastus medialis and the vastus medialis oblique in individuals with and without patellofemoral pain syndrome [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
An imbalance of medial and lateral quadriceps control can lead to patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS). The incidence rate of PFPS is twice as high in females than in males. The aims of this research were to investigate sex differences in quadriceps neuromuscular control and motor unit recruitment properties in healthy individuals comparing to those ...

Delayed Vastus Medialis Obliquus to Vastus Lateralis Onset Timing Contributes to the Development of Patellofemoral Pain in Previously Healthy Men: A Prospective Study

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Sports Medicine, 2009
Background: Delayed onset of vastus medialis obliquus activity has been described in patellofemoral pain patients. No prospective study investigating the development of patellofemoral pain has tested the onset timing of electromyographic activity of the ...

Menstrual Cycle Mediates Vastus Medialis and Vastus Medialis Oblique Muscle Activity

Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, 2013
Sports medicine professionals commonly describe two functionally different units of the vastus medialis (VM), the VM, and the vastus medialis oblique (VMO), but the anatomical support is equivocal. The functional difference of the VMO is principle to rehabilitation programs designed to alleviate anterior knee pain, a pathology that is known to have a ...

Structural parameters of the vastus medialis muscle

Clinical Anatomy, 2005
This research was designed to evaluate musculoskeletal anatomy of the quadriceps region relative to the patellofemoral joint. The hypothesis for the study was that the oblique portion (VMO) of the vastus medialis muscle (VM) is anatomically positioned to function primarily as an active medial stabilizer of the patella.

Electrical stimulation of vastus medialis and stretching of lateral thigh muscles in patients with patello-femoral symptoms

open access: yesKnee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, 1993
Thirty patients with unilateral patello-femoral symptoms and a hypotrophic vastus medialis muscle were treated with transcutaneous electrical stimulation of the vastus medialis obliquus and stretching of the lateral thigh muscles twice daily for 10 weeks.
