Aim: We investigated the relative contribution of the vastus medialis (VM) muscle to total
isometric knee extension torque at 10°, 30°, 60° and 90° knee flexion. In the past a more …

Introduction The purpose of this study was to investigate the relative activation of vastus
medialis (VM) and vastus lateralis (VL) muscles during voluntary and stimulated isometric …

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the electromyography (EMG) to torque
relationship of the vastus intermedius (VI) muscle. Thirteen healthy men performed maximal …

PURPOSE: This study attempted to assess if the resisted contraction of medial rotators of the
tibia increases the ratio between the activity of vastus medialis (VM) and vastus lateralis (VL) …

Although the possibility that the vastus intermedius (VI) muscle contributes to flexion of the
knee joint has been suggested previously, the detail of its functional role in knee flexion is …

The purpose of this study was to compare the relationship between surface
electromyography (EMG) and knee joint angle of the vastus intermedius muscle (VI) with the …

Single motor unit electromyographic (EMG) activity of the knee extensors was investigated at
different knee angles with subjects (n= 10) exerting the same absolute submaximal isometric …

The effects of different knee joint angles and fatigue on the neuromuscular control of the
vastus medialis oblique (VMO) and vastus lateralis (VL) muscles were investigated in 17 (11 …

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 …

The aim of this study was to investigate the position of the innervation zone (IZ) of the vastus
medialis (VM) and its effect on the electromyographic (EMG) amplitude and mean frequency …
