A cadaver study of the function of the oblique part of vastus medialis [PDF]
Six normal cadaver lower limbs were mounted on a specially designed loading apparatus. Wires were used to simulate the five muscle bellies of the quadriceps, the ratio of their tensions having been determined from that of the anatomical cross-sectional areas of the muscles. A three-camera system was used to track the patella during knee movements from

The Effect of Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome in Athletes on Electromyographic Activity Ratio of Patellar Stability Muscles during Maximum Voluntary Isometric Contraction [PDF]
Patellofemoral pain syndrome is a common condition athletes suffer from. One of the predictive factors of this syndrome is reduced activity ratio of vastus medialis oblique (VMO) to vastus lateralis (VL).

Comparison of Two Different Modes of Active Recovery on Muscles Performance after Fatiguing Exercise in Mountain Canoeist and Football Players. [PDF]
The aim of this study is to assess if the application of different methods of active recovery (working the same or different muscle groups from those which were active during fatiguing exercise) results in significant differences in muscle performance ...
