VASTUS MEDIALIS OBLIQUE: AN ANATOMIC AND PHYSIOLOGIC STUDY

Orthopedics, 1980
ABSTRACT: The lower part of the vastus medialis, which originates chiefly from the tendon of the adductor magnus, has been designated as the "vastus medialis oblique." This muscle is peculiar to man. The fibers of the muscle are mostly horizontal; therefore they are in a unique position to stabilize the patella against the femur in the later stages of ...

Differential activation of the vastus medialis and the vastus medialis oblique in individuals with and without patellofemoral pain syndrome [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
An imbalance of medial and lateral quadriceps control can lead to patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS). The incidence rate of PFPS is twice as high in females than in males. The aims of this research were to investigate sex differences in quadriceps neuromuscular control and motor unit recruitment properties in healthy individuals comparing to those ...

Can vastus medialis oblique be preferentially activated? A systematic review of electromyographic studies

open access: yesPhysiotherapy Theory and Practice, 2009
Debate exists as to whether the vastus medialis oblique (VMO) can be activated to a greater degree than the vastus lateralis to produce preferential strengthening. This systematic review aims to determine whether preferential activation of VMO can be achieved by altering lower limb joint orientation or muscular co-contraction.

Motor Control of the Vastus Medialis Oblique and Vastus Lateralis Muscles is Disrupted during Eccentric Contractions in Subjects with Patellofemoral Pain

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Sports Medicine, 2002
Background Inappropriate control of the vastus medialis oblique and vastus lateralis muscles by the central nervous system can contribute to maltracking of the patella.

Menstrual Cycle Mediates Vastus Medialis and Vastus Medialis Oblique Muscle Activity

Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, 2013
Sports medicine professionals commonly describe two functionally different units of the vastus medialis (VM), the VM, and the vastus medialis oblique (VMO), but the anatomical support is equivocal. The functional difference of the VMO is principle to rehabilitation programs designed to alleviate anterior knee pain, a pathology that is known to have a ...

Exercise Effect on Electromyographic Activity of the Vastus Medialis Oblique and Vastus Lateralis Muscles

Physical Therapy, 1990
The purpose of this study was to determine whether the vastus medialis oblique muscle (VMO) had greater electrical activity than the vastus lateralis muscle (VL) when hip adduction and medial (internal) tibial rotation exercises were performed. Electrical activity of the VMO and VL was measured on 25 healthy subjects during maximal-effort isometric ...

Anatomical Assessment of the Vastus Medialis Oblique Muscle in Patients With Osteoarthritis of the Knee

The Journal of Arthroplasty, 2008
Minimally invasive total knee arthroplasty requires subluxation of patella laterally without eversion. The anatomy of the vastus medialis oblique muscle (VMO), which affects the surgical exposure of minimally invasive total knee arthroplasty, was investigated. There was no significant difference between men and women with respect to any parameter.

Atrophy of the Quadriceps Is Not Isolated to the Vastus Medialis Oblique in Individuals With Patellofemoral Pain

Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy, 2015
Study Design Cross-sectional. Objectives To determine if quadriceps atrophy was present in people with patellofemoral pain (PFP), and whether the vastus medialis oblique (VMO) was selectively involved. Background Despite the lack of research investigating individual quadriceps muscle size in individuals with PFP, it has been suggested that selective ...

Fatigue rates of vastus medialis oblique and vastus lateralis during static and dynamic knee extension

Journal of Orthopaedic Research, 1991
AbstractFatigue rates of the vastus medialis oblique and vastus lateralis muscles were compared from static and dynamic exercise. Based upon clinical observations, it was expected that the vastus medialis oblique would demonstrate greater fatigability than the vastus lateralis.
