The Effect of Self-Myofascial Release on the Pennation Angle of the Vastus Medialis Oblique and the Vastus Lateralis in Athletic Male Individuals: An Ultrasound Investigation [PDF]
International Journal of Sports Physical Therapy, 2022 # Background Maintenance of patellar stability requires a balance between the vastus medialis oblique (VMO) and the vastus lateralis (VL). The imbalance between these muscles is thought to be implicated in the etiology of patellofemoral pain (PFP ...

Prevalence and morphology of the vastus medialis oblique muscle in human cadavers [PDF]
The Anatomical Record, 1997 The vastus medialis (VM) muscle has been described as being composed of two separate divisions: the vastus medialis longus (VML) proximally and the vastus medialis oblique (VMO) distally. The VML is reported to directly contribute to knee extension, while the VMO provides medial stabilization of the patella during knee extension. Despite the prevalence

The Boundary of the Vastus Medialis Oblique and the Vastus Medialis Longus
Journal of Physical Therapy Science, 2005 There are no well-defined or documented boundaries for either the vastus medialis oblique or for the vastus medialis longus. The purpose of this study was to examine anatomically the boundaries of the vastus medialis longus and the vastus medialis oblique.
