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 ...

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 ...

A comparison of the proximal and distal parts of the vastus medialis muscle [PDF]

, 1997
The vastus medialis muscle has two distinct parts with different fibre orientations and specific functions; the vastus medialis longus (VML) and the vastus medialis oblique/obliquus (VMO).

Effect of open kinetic chain and closed kinetic chain exercises on Vastus medialis oblique muscle volume and thickness measured with ultrasound in patients with knee osteoarthritis: A single blind, two groups pre test, post-test, experimental design [PDF]

, 2021
Background: Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is the common cause for instability of knee associated with impairment or weakness of muscles associated with knee joint. Being a contributor to the extension of lower knee strength and joint range of motion. Weakness

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 ...

Stiffness of individual quadriceps muscle assessed using ultrasound shear wave elastography during passive stretching

Journal of Sport and Health Science, 2018
Background: Until recently it has not been possible to isolate the mechanical behavior of individual muscles during passive stretching. Muscle shear modulus (an index of muscle stiffness) measured using ultrasound shear wave elastography can be used to ...

Rectus femoris tendon morphometry and practical landmarks for harvesting: A cadaveric study

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To perform a qualitative and quantitative cadaveric analysis of the rectus femoris (RF) tendon to determine its suitability as a standalone autograft for knee ligament reconstruction and to identify consistent anatomical landmarks for safe and reproducible harvest.

Sport participation after isolated distal femoral osteotomy in young patients: High return‐to‐sport rates and predictive role of preoperative activity level

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose The present study aimed to assess return to sport (RTS) rate, activity level and return to work (RTW) in young, physically active patients who underwent isolated distal femoral osteotomy (DFO) for lateral knee pain and valgus malalignment.
