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 ...

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,

Effects of autoregulated and non-autoregulated blood flow restriction on vastus medialis oblique responses during low-load resistance exercise [PDF]
Frontiers in Sports and Active LivingIntroduction/purposeBlood flow restriction (BFR) training is a viable strategy for inducing muscle hypertrophy and strength gains using low external loads. This study investigated the acute effects of autoregulated BFR (AR-BFR) and non-autoregulated BFR (

Effects of visibility and types of the ground surface on the muscle activities of the vastus medialis oblique and vastus lateralis. [PDF]
J Phys Ther Sci, 2015 [Purpose] The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of visibility and types of ground surface (stable and unstable) during the performance of squats on the muscle activities of the vastus medialis oblique (VMO) and vastus lateralis (VL). [Subjects and Methods] The subjects were 25 healthy adults in their 20s. They performed squats under four

The Effect of Hip Adduction on the Activation of the Vastus Medialis Oblique and the Vastus Lateralis [PDF]
Journal of the Korean Academy of Clinical Electrophysiology, 2010 Purpose : The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of hip adduction using a ball on the activation of the vastus medialis oblique (VMO) and the vastus lateralis (VL) during dynamic semisquat exercises. Methods : Twenty seven participants performed three repetitions of a double-leg semisquat and squeeze semisquat (semisquat with hip ...

Effects of the slow speed-targeting squat exercise on the vastus medialis oblique/vastus lateralis muscle ratio. [PDF]
J Phys Ther Sci, 2015 [Purpose] This study investigated the effects of the slow speed-targeting squat exercise on the vastus medialis oblique/vastus lateralis ratio. [Subjects] Ten asymptomatic men were recruited. [Methods] The EMG activities of the vastus medialis oblique and vastus lateralis muscles were recorded using surface electrodes.

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.
