Significance of Diffusion Tensor Imaging of Vastus Medialis Oblique in Recurrent Patellar Dislocation [PDF]
Chinese Medical Journal, 2017 Background: Numerous studies have investigated the influence of osseous factors on patellofemoral joint instability, but research on the influence of dynamic muscle factors in vivo is still in the exploratory stage.

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 ...

The Effect of Patellar Medial Glide Taping and Vastus Medialis Oblique Taping on Vastus Medialis Oblique and Vastus Lateralis Activity During Wall Squat [PDF]
Physical Therapy KoreaBackground: A disrupted activation balance or temporal control between the vastus medialis oblique (VMO) and vastus lateralis (VL) muscles can cause excessive patellar lateral gliding, leading to patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS).

The effect of exercise on vastus medialis oblique muscle architecture: An ultrasound investigation [PDF]
Clinical Anatomy, 2016 The vastus medialis oblique (VMO) is thought to be implicated in patellofemoral pain (PFP), and weakness in this portion of the vastus medialis muscle may lead to PFP. Management includes physiotherapy to strengthen the VMO. Although this intervention has been shown to be effective, the effects on the architecture of the muscle have not been ...

Electromygraphic Activity of the Vastus Medialis Oblique and Vastus Lateralis Muscles During Selected Exercises [PDF]
Journal of Manual and Manipulative Therapy, 1996 AbstractThe purpose of this study was to determine if the vastus medialis oblique:vastus lateralis (VMO:VL)integrated electromyographic (IEMG) ratios differed between selected exercises. The EMG activity of the VMO and VL muscles were measured in 54 normal subjects during various exercises. Subjects ranged in age from 15–49 years (X=27.5, SD=7.01). The

Hip position and sex differences in motor unit firing patterns of the vastus medialis and vastus medialis oblique in healthy individuals [PDF]
Journal of Applied Physiology, 2018 Weakness of the vastus medialis oblique (VMO) has been proposed to explain the high prevalence of knee pain in female subjects. Clinicians commonly use exercises in an attempt to preferentially activate the VMO. Recently, our group found evidence to support clinical theory that the VMO is neurologically distinct from the vastus medialis (VM). However,

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
