The purpose of present study was to compare the effect of Ia afferent attenuation on the
activity of alpha motor neuron (MN) during concentric and eccentric action. Eight male …

Abstract Changes in mechanical performance and electromyographic activity during
fatiguing dynamic knee-extensions were evaluated with respect to muscle fibre type …

Introduction: Previous evidence suggests the fibers of different motor units reside within
distinct vastus medialis (VM) regions. It remains unknown whether the activity of these motor …

Objective: Patellofemoral pain syndrome is a patellar tracking dysfunction usually
associated with vastus medialis oblique (VMO) weakness, and subsequently, a small VMO …

The aim of the study was to investigate EMG signal features during fatigue and recovery at
three locations of the vastus medialis and lateralis muscles. Surface EMG signals were …

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 …

Study design Controlled laboratory study. Objectives The purposes of this paper were to
investigate (d) whether vastus medialis obliquus (VMO), vastus lateralis longus (VLL) and …

Debate exists as to whether the vastus medialis oblique (VMO) can be activated to a greater
degree than the vastus lateralis to produce preferential strengthening. This systematic …

Purpose The present study compared isometric, concentric and eccentric contractions at the
same torque-time integral for changes in neuromuscular fatigue and muscle damage …

We examined the role of muscles in counteracting static loads in the transverse plane at the
knee to determine if (a) knee muscles are activated to counteract isometric varus or valgus …
