Innervation of the distal part of the vastus medialis muscle is endangered by splitting its muscle fibers during total knee replacement: an anatomical study using modified Sihler’s technique

open access: yesActa Orthopaedica, 2021
Background and purpose — The distal part of the vastus medialis muscle is an important stabilizer for the patella. Thus, knowledge of the intramuscular nerve course and branching pattern is important to estimate whether the muscle’s innervation is at ...

Fatigue and the Electromechanical Efficiency of the Vastus Medialis and Vastus Lateralis Muscles [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Athletic Training, 2008
AbstractContext:The relationship between the amplitudes of the mechanomyographic (MMG) and electromyographic (EMG) signals has been used to examine the “electromechanical efficiency” (EME) of normal and diseased muscle. The EME may help us to better understand the neuromuscular relationship between the vastus medialis and vastus lateralis muscles ...

The role of the neuromuscular control mechanism in motor output : do individuals share muscle activation features? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Although walking is a constrained movement, there is variation in the muscle recruitment patterns. The processed wavelet-based electromyogram (EMG) [von Tscharner (2000)] signals indicated that the task structure contained in walking doesn’t prescribe ...
