EMG Activation of the Vastus Medialis Oblique and Vastus Lateralis During Four Rehabilitative Exercises [PDF]

, 2012
The purpose of this study was to compare four common rehabilitation exercises used in physical therapy clinics for activating the vastus medialis oblique (VMO) and vastus lateralis (VL). Thirty-four subjects, aged 22-28 years, without patellofemoral pain

Knee and Hip Joint Kinematics Predict Quadriceps and Hamstrings Neuromuscular Activation Patterns in Drop Jump Landings. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
PURPOSE:The purpose was to assess if variation in sagittal plane landing kinematics is associated with variation in neuromuscular activation patterns of the quadriceps-hamstrings muscle groups during drop vertical jumps (DVJ).

Double‐Bundle Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction Using Free Rectus Femoris Autograft

Arthroscopy Techniques, EarlyView.
Abstract The rectus femoris tendon autograft represents a relatively new graft option, primarily used in anterior cruciate ligament revision surgery. In this technical note, we describe a technique for medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction using a double‐bundle rectus femoris autograft.

Combined Anterior Cruciate Ligament and Posterolateral Corner Reconstruction With a Single Femoral Tunnel Using Rectus Femoris and Semitendinosus Autografts

Arthroscopy Techniques, EarlyView.
Abstract We describe a reproducible, anatomically based technique for combined anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and posterolateral corner reconstruction using a single femoral tunnel and 2 autografts: rectus femoris and semitendinosus. Part of the rectus femoris and semitendinosus grafts is prepared for anatomic ACL reconstruction, and a shared femoral

Medial Patellar Retinaculum Cable Replacement of Medial Quadriceps Tendon‐Femoral Ligament Combined With Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction in Treatment of Recurrent Patellar Dislocation

Arthroscopy Techniques, EarlyView.
Abstract Medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction is a mainstream surgical approach for treating recurrent patellar dislocation. In recent years, double‐bundle reconstruction, for example, combined reconstruction of MPFL and the medial quadriceps tendon‐femoral ligament, has been applied and shown favorable outcomes in the treatment of ...

The Vastus Medialis Insertion Is More Proximal and Medial in Patients With Patellar Instability: A Magnetic Resonance Imaging Case-Control Study

Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine, 2019
Background: The anatomy and function of the quadriceps muscle play a role in patellofemoral stability. Few studies have evaluated anatomic differences in the vastus medialis between patients with and without patellar instability.

Arthroscopic Continuous Anterior Cruciate Ligament‐Medial Collateral Ligament Reconstruction Using a Single Rectus Femoris Autograft With Posterior Oblique Ligament Reconstruction: A Technical Note

Arthroscopy Techniques, EarlyView.
Abstract Multiligament knee injuries are challenging to manage and often require harvesting multiple grafts. Rectus femoris tendon autograft provides predictable length and diameter, making it a promising option for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction and combined procedures. In this technical note, we describe an arthroscopic technique for

EMG profile in two different angles during maximum voluntary isometric contraction in squat exercise [PDF]

Motricidade, 2011
The aim of the present study was to analyze the electric activity of the vastus medialis (VM) and vastus lateralis (VL) in two differing angles (70° and 90° of knee flexion) during maximum voluntary contraction in squat exercise.

Acute effects of THC and a CBD+THC combination on cardiovascular haemodynamics and respiratory muscle activity during loaded breathing in healthy adults: A randomized placebo‐controlled crossover study

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims This study aimed to evaluate the acute effects of cannabidiol plus tetrahydrocannabinol (CBD+THC) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) oils on cardiovascular haemodynamics, respiratory muscle activity and peripheral tissue perfusion in healthy adults. Methods In this randomized, double‐blind, crossover trial, participants received orally administered ...
