Effectiveness of pelvic stabilization exercises on knee valgus, muscle activity, and strength in individuals with dynamic knee valgus [PDF]

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders
Background Pelvic instability is often associated with angular deviations of lower limb and often causes valgus shift of the knee joint under load. In addition, non-contact ACL tears during sport activity are often caused by muscle weakness around the ...

Arthrogenic muscle inhibition: A prevalent issue in knee arthroplasty. [PDF]

Knee Surg Sports Traumatol Arthrosc
Abstract Purpose Flexion contracture is a multifactorial complication after knee osteoarthritis and knee arthroplasty. Among the causes, arthrogenic muscle inhibition (AMI) has never been studied. It is a failure to achieve proper quadriceps motor activation, which can lead to flexion contracture due to hamstring contracture.

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 (

Differential Quadriceps Muscle Dysfunction Preoperatively and at Return to Sport Following Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction [PDF]

Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine
Background: Individuals with patellofemoral instability (PFI) often demonstrate altered knee morphology, such as trochlear dysplasia, patella alta, patellar tilt, and genu valgum [1]. The vastus medialis obliquus (VMO) plays an important role in patellar
