A cadaveric model to evaluate the effect of unloading the medial quadriceps on patellar tracking and patellofemoral joint pressure and stability

Journal of Experimental Orthopaedics, 2018
Background Vastus Medialis Muscles (VMM) damage has been widely identified following patellar dislocation. Rehabilitation programmes have been suggested to strengthen the VMM and reduce clinical symptoms of pain and instability.

Surgical Technique: Anatomic Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Retensioning Repair

Arthroscopy Techniques, 2018
The medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) and the MPFL/vastus medialis obliquus complex are essential for patellar stability. Insufficiency of the MPFL can lead to altered biomechanics and patellofemoral joint contact pressure, high recurrence rate ...

Function of the Distal Part of the Vastus Medialis Muscle as a Generator of Knee Extension Twitch Torque

Journal of Functional Morphology and Kinesiology, 2020
The distal part of the vastus medialis (VM) (VM obliquus: VMO) muscle acts as the medial stabilizer of the patella. However, it has been known to facilitate VMO contraction during training of the quadriceps femoris muscle in knee joint rehabilitation ...

Comparison of hamstring and quadriceps tendon autografts in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with gait analysis and surface electromyography

Journal of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, 2021
Background Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear is the most frequent ligamentous injury of the knee joint. Autografts of hamstring (HS) or quadriceps tendons (QT) are used for primary ACL reconstruction.

Evaluate the Medial Muscle Strength by Kick Training between the Standing and Sitting Postures

Applied Sciences, 2019
In order to ameliorate the anterior knee pain or peripheral pain around the tibia caused by patellar lateral subluxation, we evaluated the kick training effects of standing or sitting postures in strengthening the vastus medialis obliquus (VMO) on the ...

Medial Quadriceps Tendon Femoral Ligament Reconstruction Technique and Surgical Anatomy

Arthroscopy Techniques, 2019
Medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction risks patellar fracture with the osseous violation necessary for patellar attachment. Anatomic studies identify an entire medial patellofemoral complex of structures responsible for medial restraint to ...

Evaluating the effects of delivering integrated kinesthetic and tactile cues to individuals with unilateral hemiparetic stroke during overground walking

Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, 2018
Background Integration of kinesthetic and tactile cues for application to post-stroke gait rehabilitation is a novel concept which needs to be explored. The combined provision of haptic cues may result in collective improvement of gait parameters such as
