Hip position and sex differences in motor unit firing patterns of the vastus medialis and vastus medialis oblique in healthy individuals [PDF]
Journal of Applied Physiology, 2018 Weakness of the vastus medialis oblique (VMO) has been proposed to explain the high prevalence of knee pain in female subjects. Clinicians commonly use exercises in an attempt to preferentially activate the VMO. Recently, our group found evidence to support clinical theory that the VMO is neurologically distinct from the vastus medialis (VM). However,
