VASTUS MEDIALIS OBLIQUE: AN ANATOMIC AND PHYSIOLOGIC STUDY

Orthopedics, 1980
ABSTRACT: The lower part of the vastus medialis, which originates chiefly from the tendon of the adductor magnus, has been designated as the "vastus medialis oblique." This muscle is peculiar to man. The fibers of the muscle are mostly horizontal; therefore they are in a unique position to stabilize the patella against the femur in the later stages of ...

Isolation of the Vastus Medialis Oblique Muscle During Exercise

American Journal of Sports Medicine, 1999
The purpose of this study was to selectively challenge the vastus medialis oblique muscle in comparison with the vastus lateralis, the vastus intermedius, and the vastus medialis longus muscles by performing nine sets of strengthening exercises. These knee rehabilitation exercises included isometric knee extension with the hip at neutral, 30° external,

Can vastus medialis oblique be preferentially activated? A systematic review of electromyographic studies

Physiotherapy Theory and Practice, 2009
Debate exists as to whether the vastus medialis oblique (VMO) can be activated to a greater degree than the vastus lateralis to produce preferential strengthening. This systematic review aims to determine whether preferential activation of VMO can be achieved by altering lower limb joint orientation or muscular co-contraction.

Menstrual Cycle Mediates Vastus Medialis and Vastus Medialis Oblique Muscle Activity

Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, 2013
Sports medicine professionals commonly describe two functionally different units of the vastus medialis (VM), the VM, and the vastus medialis oblique (VMO), but the anatomical support is equivocal. The functional difference of the VMO is principle to rehabilitation programs designed to alleviate anterior knee pain, a pathology that is known to have a ...

Exercise Effect on Electromyographic Activity of the Vastus Medialis Oblique and Vastus Lateralis Muscles

Physical Therapy, 1990
The purpose of this study was to determine whether the vastus medialis oblique muscle (VMO) had greater electrical activity than the vastus lateralis muscle (VL) when hip adduction and medial (internal) tibial rotation exercises were performed. Electrical activity of the VMO and VL was measured on 25 healthy subjects during maximal-effort isometric ...

Anatomical Assessment of the Vastus Medialis Oblique Muscle in Patients With Osteoarthritis of the Knee

The Journal of Arthroplasty, 2008
Minimally invasive total knee arthroplasty requires subluxation of patella laterally without eversion. The anatomy of the vastus medialis oblique muscle (VMO), which affects the surgical exposure of minimally invasive total knee arthroplasty, was investigated. There was no significant difference between men and women with respect to any parameter.
