Atrophy of the Quadriceps Is Not Isolated to the Vastus Medialis Oblique in Individuals With Patellofemoral Pain

Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy, 2015
Study Design Cross-sectional. Objectives To determine if quadriceps atrophy was present in people with patellofemoral pain (PFP), and whether the vastus medialis oblique (VMO) was selectively involved. Background Despite the lack of research investigating individual quadriceps muscle size in individuals with PFP, it has been suggested that selective ...

An Electromyographic Study of Vastus Medialis Oblique and Vastus Lateralis Activity While Ascending and Descending Steps

Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy, 1998
Imbalances in the firing pattern and contraction intensity of the vastus medialis oblique (VMO) and the vastus lateralis (VL) have been considered important factors contributing to patellofemoral joint dysfunction. Vastus medialis oblique and vastus lateralis electromyographic (EMG) activity were measured for 15 individuals without patellofemoral pain (

Fatigue rates of vastus medialis oblique and vastus lateralis during static and dynamic knee extension

Journal of Orthopaedic Research, 1991
AbstractFatigue rates of the vastus medialis oblique and vastus lateralis muscles were compared from static and dynamic exercise. Based upon clinical observations, it was expected that the vastus medialis oblique would demonstrate greater fatigability than the vastus lateralis.

Anterior Knee Pain Syndrome: Role of the Vastus Medialis Oblique

Journal of Sport Rehabilitation, 1992
Anterior knee pain syndrome (AKPS) represents a significant problem for patients and sports medicine clinicians. Many predisposing factors have been associated with AKPS. Considerable attention has been given to quadriceps strengthening. Specifically the vastus medialis oblique (VMO) muscle is targeted for selective strengthening.

EMG activity of the vastus medialis oblique and the vastus lateralis in their role in patellar alignment.

American journal of physical medicine, 1983
Using intramuscular electrodes the integrated electromyographic activity of the vastus medialis oblique and the vastus lateralis was examined in twenty normal females. The activity was recorded during the last thirty degrees of distal segment stabilized knee extension, when patellar subluxation commonly occurs.

Does Exercise Type Affect Relative Activation Levels of Vastus Medialis Oblique and Vastus Laterialis?

Journal of Sport Rehabilitation, 2006
Context:One factor believed to affect Patella tracking is an alteration in the timing of the contraction of the muscular stabilizers of the patella. The muscles responsible for this are Vastus Medialis Oblique (VMO) and Vastus Laterialis (VL). A number of authors believe that asynchronous recruitment of the VMO muscle occurs in patella mal-tracking ...

Does level of load affect relative activation levels of vastus medialis oblique and vastus laterialis?

Journal of Electromyography and Kinesiology, 2006
The purpose of the study was to evaluate the effect of different relative loading levels on the EMG activity of Vastus Medialis Oblique (VMO) and Vastus Laterialis (VL). Previous research into the EMG temporal and spatial relationship between VMO and VL has increased the controversy surrounding the topic, due to the majority of studies failing to be ...

Patellar taping increases vastus medialis oblique activity in the presence of patellofemoral pain

Journal of Electromyography and Kinesiology, 2004
A common rehabilitation strategy for patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS), which lacks scientific evidence, includes pulling the patella medially with tape to reduce pain and increase the vastus medialis oblique (VMO) muscle activity. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of various patellar taping procedures on force production, EMG ...
