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,

The Impact of a Single Hip Manipulation on Quadriceps Activity and Performance: A Randomized Study

Biomedicines
Background/Objectives: Optimal activation of the quadriceps femoris, particularly the vastus medialis, while minimizing excessive activation of the vastus lateralis, is crucial for treating knee injuries like ACL ruptures and patellofemoral pain syndrome.

Effect of textured foot orthoses on frequency spectrum of lower extremity muscles, stance time and comfort in individuals over age of 55 years during walking

مجله دانشگاه علوم پزشکی گرگان, 2021
Background and Objective: Proprioceptors of the plantar surfaces of the foot have less efficiency and the stimulation and reinforcement of them may be lead to reduction of falling risk.

Representation of Joint Patterns in HD SEMG: A Case Study

Proceedings, 2019
Investigation of joint patterns is one of many ways to detect soft tissue pathology. Functional blockage of the joint is a common clinical term that expresses one of the most common functional disorders in the musculoskeletal system.

Designing differential pressure leggings for late middle age women using 3D technology: Identifying optimal muscle support levels via electromyography

Journal of Engineered Fibers and Fabrics
This study aims to identify appropriate pressure levels for supporting key thigh muscles in late middle age women by analyzing muscle fatigue responses using surface electromyography (EMG). Functional leggings were developed for Korean women in their 50s

ACTIVATION OF VASTUS MEDIALIS OBLIQUES AT DIFFERENT KNEE ANGLES IN CLOSED KINETIC CHAIN AND OPEN KINETIC CHAIN POSITION IN SUBJECTS WITH PATELLO FEMORAL PAIN SYNDROME

International Journal of Physiotherapy, 2015
Background: Patello femoral pain syndrome is one of the most common musculoskeletal disorders and is reported to affect 15% - 33% of an active adult population and 21%-45% of adolescents thereby decreasing the work capacity of an individual.

TMS-guided physiotherapy reduces pain and induces plasticity in the motor cortex in Chronic Knee Osteoarthritis

Revista Pesquisa em Fisioterapia, 2018
BACKGROUND: Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is associated with chronic pain, impaired function and loss of quality of life.  Brain maladaptive plasticity may be involved and prevent beneficial effects of exercises and other interventions.

Immediate effect of anti-pronation foot taping on myoelectric activity of knee muscles in patellofemoral pain syndrome: a randomised controlled trial

Physiotherapy Quarterly
Introduction There is lack of studies on the effect of anti-pronation foot taping on the myoelectric activity of knee muscles. The purpose of this study was to investigate the immediate effect of anti-pronation foot taping on the myoelectric activity of ...
