Background Electromyography (EMG) is a classical technique used to record electrical
activity associated with muscle contraction and is widely applied in Biomechanics …

Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is a multifactorial disorder with a variety of treatment
options. The assortment of components that contribute to its pathophysiology can be …

Background: Delayed onset of vastus medialis (VM) activity compared with vastus lateralis
activity is a reported cause for patellofemoral pain. The delayed onset of VM activity in …

The electrophysiological techniques (neurography and needle electromyography) allow us
an approach to the knowledge of the neuromuscular function. Electromyography obtains the …

Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (PFPS) is a common musculoskeletal complaint. The
presence of a delay between vastus medialis obliquus (VMO) and vastus lateralis (VL) …

PURPOSE AND METHOD: Lateral patellar malalignment and maltracking are commonly
believed to be associated with patellofemoral pain. In the current review, a computerized …

This study aimed to compare immediate changes in the thickness of the rectus femoris (RF),
vastus intermedius (VI), vastus lateralis (VL), vastus medialis (VM), and vastus medialis …

The electrophysiological techniques (neurography and needle electromyography) allow us

The aims of this study were to examine group differences in muscle activation onset of the
vastus medialis (VM) in relation to the vastus lateralis (VL) and pain level during stair ascent …

[Purpose] We investigated the difference in onset time between the vastus medialis and
lateralis according to knee alignment during stair ascent and descent to examine the effects …
