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

The Open Rehabilitation Journal, 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 syndrome (PFPS) (18 females and 16 males) were recruited.

Looking Under the Hood of Elite Rowers: Skeletal Muscle Determinants of Rowing Performance

Scandinavian Journal of Medicine &Science in Sports, Volume 36, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT We aimed to identify the physiological and muscle characteristics associated with mean power output in the final stage of a rowing incremental test in elite rowers. Twenty‐two national level rowers (n = 9 female) completed the following assessments (i) a 7‐stage incremental rowing ergometer test to determine V̇O2peak, maximal muscle ...

Botulinum toxin injections as salvage therapy is beneficial for management of patellofemoral pain syndrome

Knee Surgery & Related Research, 2021
Purpose Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is a common pathology usually presenting with anterior or retropatellar pain. It is associated with a relative imbalance between the vastus medialis oblique (VMO) and the vastus lateralis (VL) muscles. This can

Medial parapatellar surgical approach leads to greater loss of postural sway complexity compared to mid‐vastus approach in women undergoing total knee arthroplasty

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, Volume 34, Issue 5, Page 1700-1712, May 2026.
Abstract Purpose Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is associated with acute postoperative effects that increase the risk of falls. These effects differ between the medial parapatellar (PP) and mid‐vastus (MV) surgical techniques but have not been evaluated in terms of postural sway complexity.

Personalized alignment in total knee arthroplasty reduces patellar tilt: A retrospective study

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, Volume 34, Issue 5, Page 1766-1775, May 2026.
Abstract Purpose Patellofemoral kinematics is crucial for patient satisfaction following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). A postoperative patellar tilt greater than 5° has been associated with inferior clinical outcomes. While a femoral component external rotation beyond 3° is generally protective against patellar tilt, personalized alignment may not ...

Miniature giants: investigating limb long bone structure in dwarf proboscideans

Palaeontology, Volume 69, Issue 3, 2026.
Abstract Terrestrial vertebrates rely on their skeleton to provide structural support and allow the movement of the body. Heavy, graviportal taxa, such as extant elephants, exhibit numerous adaptive features in their bone anatomy enabling them to withstand their immense weight.

Chronological and Spatial Distribution of Skeletal Muscle Fat Replacement in FHL1‐Related Myopathies

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, Volume 13, Issue 4, Page 724-735, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives Variants in the FHL1 gene cause FHL1‐related myopathies (FHL1‐RMs), a group of neuromuscular disorders with diverse clinical presentations. This study aimed to comprehensively characterize the spatial and temporal patterns of skeletal muscle fat replacement throughout the whole body in FHL1‐RMs, to examine disease progression over ...

Medial closing wedge distal femoral varus osteotomy alters the stress distribution pattern of the patellofemoral joint: An evaluation using computed tomography osteoabsorptiometry

Journal of Experimental Orthopaedics, Volume 13, Issue 2, April 2026.
Abstract Purpose This study aimed to (1) assess changes in subchondral bone density distribution across patellofemoral (PF) joint before and after medial closing wedge‐distal femoral varus osteotomy (MCW‐DFVO) and (2) determine correlation between PF alignment and changes in bone density distribution.

Combined Reconstruction of the Medial Patellofemoral Ligament and the Medial Quadriceps Tendon–Femoral Ligament Using Rectus Femoris Tendon Autograft

Arthroscopy Techniques, Volume 15, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Patellofemoral instability remains a challenging condition, especially in skeletally immature patients, who are at increased risk of recurrence. The medial patellofemoral ligament has historically been the focus of surgical reconstruction; however, recent anatomic studies have also highlighted the medial quadriceps tendon–femoral ligament as ...
