vastus lateralis activity in open and closed kinetic chain exercises in patients with …

During knee rehabilitation, squats are a commonly used closed kinetic chain exercise. We
have been unable to locate data reporting electromyographic (EMG) activity of lower …

[Purpose] The muscle strength of the quadriceps muscle is critical in patellofemoral pain
syndrome. The quadriceps muscle supplies the power for dynamic patellar movement, and …

The purpose of this study was to see if vastus medialis oblique/vastus lateralis (VMO: VL)
ratios could be increased by widening the squat stance and if the VMO activity increases …

Objective: To examine the effect of leg rotation on the vastus medialis oblique/vastus
lateralis (VMO/VL) electromyogram (EMG) activity ratio during two closed chain knee …

Purpose To compare the effects of vastus medialis oblique (VMO) motor control retraining
(MCR) and quadriceps strengthening (QS) exercises on the onset timing of the medial …
