Journal of Physical Therapy Science, 2014 [Purpose] The gross morphology of the vastus medialis (VM) muscle has been thoroughly described. However, there is insufficient evidence of physiological differentiation between the VM obliquus (VMO) and VM longus (VML). To elucidate spinal reflex arc excitability in two divisions of the VM, we compared H-reflexes and T-waves in VMO and VML. [Subjects]

The role of the quadriceps muscle in knee extension
South African Journal of Physiotherapy, 1983 In 1949, Smillie proposed that the vastus medialis muscle alone is responsible for the final 10° to 15° of knee extension. A number of more recent studies have proved that the whole quadriceps muscle is responsible for all degrees of knee extension. This

Regional Vastus Medialis and Vastus Lateralis Activation in Females with Patellofemoral Pain [PDF]
Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, 2019 ABSTRACT Introduction This study aimed to investigate whether regional activation patterns in the vasti muscles differ between females with and without patellofemoral pain (PFP), and whether muscle activation patterns correlate with knee extension strength.

Isolation of the Vastus Medialis Oblique Muscle During Exercise
, 1999 The purpose of this study was to selectively challenge the vastus medialis oblique muscle in comparison with the vastus lateralis, the vastus intermedius, and the vastus medialis longus muscles by performing nine sets of strengthening exercises.

Kinematic and Neuromuscular Measures of Intensity During Drop Jumps in Female Volleyball Players
Frontiers in Psychology, 2021 The aim of this study was to assess drop jump (DJ) performance variables (jump height, contact time, and reactive strength index) concomitant to surface electromyography (sEMG) of lower limb muscles during DJs from different drop heights (intensities ...

Regionalization of the stretch reflex in the human vastus medialis [PDF]
The Journal of Physiology, 2017 Key points Regionalization of the stretch reflex, i.e. the notion that the activation of 1a afferents from a muscle region influences only the activation of motor units in the same region, has been demonstrated previously in animals but not in humans.

Perceived Time Shapes Physical Fatigue Accumulation and Its Neural Oscillatory Correlates
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Can a clock change the course of physical fatigue? By covertly manipulating the clock calibration during repeated isometric contractions, we showed that perceived time shapes fatigue accumulation and frontal oscillatory dynamics. While fatigue accumulation was only reduced when the clock was slowed down, frontal oscillatory dynamics followed perceived ...
