International Journal of Physiotherapy, 2014 Background: Patellofemoral pain syndrome is a very common disorder. 90% of the general population has some degree of pathologic changes of the patellofemoral joint. Knowledge regarding the cause and prevention of patellofemoral pain syndrome is essential.

Muscle Synergy Alteration of Human During Walking With Lower Limb Exoskeleton
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2019 Muscle synergy reflects inherent coordination patterns of muscle groups as the human body finishes required movements. It may be still unknown whether the original muscle synergy of subjects may alter or not when exoskeletons are put on during their ...

Optimization of the position for isometric exercise to strengthen the vastus medialis oblique muscle based on surface electromyography tests : an observational study [PDF]
, 2023 Background: The vastus medialis oblique (VMO) is the main dynamic stabilizer of the knee joint. Due to its anatomic structure, the muscle works at high speed and with high strength, but it tends to weaken relatively fast and atrophy. Aims: The study

Anatomical Association Between Articularis Genus and Vastus Medialis Oblique: A Cadaveric Investigation [PDF]
, 2020 Objectives The articularis genus (AG) muscle is thought to elevate the suprapatellar bursa during knee extension. Failure of this function may cause impingement of the bursa, and lead to anterior knee pain.

The Influence of Orthotic Devices and Vastus Medialis Strength and Timing on Patellofemoral Loads During Running [PDF]
, 2000 Objective. To use a musculoskeletal model and simulation of running to examine: (1) the influence of two commonly prescribed treatments for patellofemoral pain (vastus medialis oblique strengthening and orthoses) and (2) the functional significance of ...

Influence of neuromuscular fatigue on co-contraction between vastus medialis and vastus lateralis during isometric contractions [PDF]
, 2014 The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of neuromuscular fatigue on vastus medialis and vastus lateralis co-contraction. Fifteen healthy young subjects performed an isometric leg extension test in two different condition phases: i) maximum test

PREFERENTIAL VASTUS MEDIALIS OBLIQUE ACTIVATION ACHIEVED AS A TREATMENT FOR KNEE DISORDERS
Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, 2005 The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of an open-stance cycling protocol (OSCP) with the traditional cycling foot position (TCFP) for preferential vastus medialis oblique (VMO) muscle activation, measured by surface electromyography (SEMG), and preferential VMO activation as defined by achieving significantly increased VMO/VL (vastus ...
