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 Living
Introduction/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.

Activation of the vastus medialis oblique and vastus lateralis muscles in asymptomatic subjects during the sit-to-stand procedure. [PDF]

J Phys Ther Sci, 2015
[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to examine the vastus medialis oblique to vastus lateralis ratio in two pelvic tilt positions while performing the sit-to-stand task. [Subjects and Methods] Activation of the vastus medialis oblique and the vastus lateralis muscles of 46 healthy subjects (25 males, 21 females) were recorded by surface ...

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 ...

Electromygraphic Activity of the Vastus Medialis Oblique and Vastus Lateralis Muscles During Selected Exercises

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

Medial Patellar Retinaculum Cable Transfer With Anchoring Suture Reinforcement and Medial Tightening to Correct Patellar Dislocation in Skeletally Immature Patients [PDF]

Arthroscopy Techniques
Surgical treatment of patellar dislocation poses a challenge in skeletally immature patients. The traditional approach of lateral release and medial imbrication carries a high probability of recurrence.
