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 …

The effects of muscle fatigue on the temporal neuromuscular control of the vastus medialis
(VM) muscle were investigated in 19 young male subjects. The electromyogram (EMG) …

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 …

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 …

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) …

Purpose: Strengthening of the VMO has been suggested as a treatment technique for the
PFPS, as the weakness of this component of the quadriceps is one of the reasons of the mal …

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 …

This study investigated whether the onset of electromyographic (EMG) activity of vastus
medialis oblique (VMO) was delayed relative to that of vastus lateralis (VL) in patients with …

Disagreement exists as to whether the individual components of the quadriceps femoris can
be preferentially activated, ie., that one muscle component is activated to a greater degree of …
