A cadaver study of the function of the oblique part of vastus medialis [PDF]

The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. British volume, 1995
Six normal cadaver lower limbs were mounted on a specially designed loading apparatus. Wires were used to simulate the five muscle bellies of the quadriceps, the ratio of their tensions having been determined from that of the anatomical cross-sectional areas of the muscles. A three-camera system was used to track the patella during knee movements from

The effect of fatigue on electromechanical response times in basketball players with and without persistent low back pain

Scientific Reports, 2022
Typically, athletes alter movement mechanics in the presence of back pain, but the effect of these changes on lower extremity injury risk is not well understood. This study aimed to compare the effect of fatigue on electromechanical response times during

The Effect of Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome in Athletes on Electromyographic Activity Ratio of Patellar Stability Muscles during Maximum Voluntary Isometric Contraction [PDF]

Sport Sciences and Health Research, 2013
Patellofemoral pain syndrome is a common condition athletes suffer from. One of the predictive factors of this syndrome is reduced activity ratio of vastus medialis oblique (VMO) to vastus lateralis (VL).

Arthroscopically Assisted Anatomic Repair of a Medial Gastrocnemius Proximal Tendon Avulsion. [PDF]

Arthrosc Tech
Abstract The medial gastrocnemius tendon's (MGT) primary role is to perform plantarflexion of the foot. It attaches to the gastrocnemius tubercle, one of the primary medial femoral osseous landmarks. Injury to the musculotendinous junction of the MGT often is referred to in the literature as “tennis leg” syndrome because of the classic acute onset of ...

Ultrasonography of Knee Muscles During SLR With Different Positions of Hip and Ankle in Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome

Journal of Rehabilitation, 2023
Objective Due to the substantial prevalence of patellofemoral pain syndrome and the importance of quadriceps strengthening in knee rehabilitation, determining the best way to activate and strengthen the patella stabilizing muscles is considered as one of

SMOC approach for total knee arthroplasty in valgus knees

Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research, 2022
Objective This study was performed to compare clinical outcomes among patients with valgus knees undergoing total knee arthroplasty via the medial parapatellar approach and the subvastus with minimal oblique cut approach. Methods A total of 232 patients (

Anatomic Medial Collateral Ligament, Posterior Oblique Ligament, and Double-Bundle Posterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstructions With Concomitant Distal Femoral Osteotomy in the Setting of a Chronic Injury. [PDF]

Arthrosc Tech
Abstract The medial collateral ligament provides stability against valgus stress applied to the knee. Medial knee ligament injuries often occur concomitantly with posterior cruciate ligament injuries and may be aggravated by valgus malalignment. Intentional care and preparation must be taken to reconstruct all injured structures to their anatomic ...

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,
