[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to investigate the difference in onset timing
between the vastus medialis and lateralis among the different knee alignments, as well as
the best isokinetic angular velocity for an isokinetic concentric contraction. [Subjects]
Fifty-two adults (20 with genu varum, 12 genu valgum, and 20 controls) were enrolled in
this study. Subjects with > 4 cm between the medial epicondyles of the knee were placed
in the genu varum group, whereas subjects with > 4 cm between the medial malleolus of
the ankle were placed in the genu valgum group. [Methods] Surface electromyography was
used to measure the onset times of the vastus medialis and vastus lateralis during
concentric contractions at 30, 60, and 90°/sec. [Results] The vastus lateralis showed more
delayed firing than the vastus medialis in the genu varum group, whereas vastus medialis
firing was delayed more than that of the vastus lateralis in the genu valgum group. No
differences in onset timing were observed between the vastus medialis and lateralis
according the different angular velocities during concentric contractions in all three
groups. [Conclusion] Genu varum and valgum affect quadriceps firing. Therefore, selective
rehabilitation training of the quadriceps femoris should be considered to prevent pain or
knee malalignment deformities.Key words: Quadriceps muscle, Genu varum, Genu valgum 相似文献

[Purpose] This study attempted to identify how genu varum or valgum affects the
electromyographic activities of the vastus medialis, vastus lateralis, and rectus femoris
during knee isometric contraction. [Subjects] Fifty-two healthy young adults were enrolled
in this study. They were enrolled and classified into three groups by knee alignment
conditions: the genu varum, genu valgum, and control groups. [Methods] The
electromyographic activity ratio of the vastus medialis to the vastus lateralis and rectus
femoris were calculated using the percentage of maximum voluntary contraction. The
participants contracted their quadriceps during isometric contraction at 30 and 60° of
knee flexion. [Results] The genu varum group had more activity in the vastus medialis than
in the vastus lateralis and rectus femoris, whereas the genu valgum group had more
activity in the vastus lateralis and rectus femoris than in the vastus medialis. There was
a significant difference in the muscle activity ratio between the vastus medialis and
vastus lateralis by angle of knee flexion degree only in the genu valgum. There were no
significant differences in any of the three groups in terms of the muscle activity ratio
of the vastus medialis to the rectus femoris by angle of knee flexion. [Conclusion] The
quadriceps femoris was used for different strategies according to knee alignment during
isometric contraction at 30 and 60°. This study suggests that rehabilitation training
programs used to strengthen the quadriceps should consider the knee alignment conditions
of the target subjects.Key words: Electromyography, Quadriceps muscle, Isometric contraction 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To determine if the electromyographic onset of vastus lateralis and kinematic knee joint motion in individuals with knee osteoarthritis (OA) differs from that of asymptomatic persons, during the task of stair stepping. DESIGN: Cross-sectional. SETTING: University laboratory in Australia. PARTICIPANTS: Twenty-five participants with symptomatic knee OA and 33 asymptomatic controls. INTERVENTIONS: Not applicable. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Surface electromyography to determine the onset of vastus lateralis activity. Two-dimensional kinematic analysis of sagittal plane knee motion during stance phase of stair ascent and descent. RESULTS: Participants with knee OA showed delayed onset of vastus lateralis activity during stair descent (P<.05) but not ascent. Both groups displayed a similar total range of knee motion. However, during stair descent, participants with OA had less knee flexion during early stance (P<.05) than controls. CONCLUSION: Individuals with knee OA display altered quadriceps function and knee joint kinematics during stair descent. These impairments may have implications for force attenuation across the knee joint and warrant future investigation. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: Knee osteoarthritis has a major impact on quadriceps function, yet its effect on the specific temporal recruitment of vastus medialis obliquus and vastus lateralis is unknown. The aim of this study was to determine the electromyographic onset of vastus medialis obliquus activity relative to that of vastus lateralis in individuals with symptomatic knee osteoarthritis and in an asymptomatic control group during the functional task of stair climbing. DESIGN: Cross-sectional, comprising 41 participants with symptomatic knee osteoarthritis and 33 controls matched for age, sex, and body mass. RESULTS: No significant differences were detected in the timing of onset of vastus medialis obliquus relative to that of vastus lateralis between the osteoarthritis and control groups. Radiographic osteoarthritis severity, presence of patellofemoral joint disease, and pain intensity did not seem to influence the temporal relationship of the vastii in the osteoarthritis group. CONCLUSION: The presence of symptomatic, radiographic knee osteoarthritis is not associated with deficits in the temporal recruitment of vastus medialis obliquus and vastus lateralis during stair climbing. This implies that selective retraining of the individual components of the quadriceps is not indicated in rehabilitation programs for patients with this disease. 相似文献

[Purpose] This study evaluated the effective selective activation method of the vastus
medialis oblique for knee joint stabilization in patients with patellofemoral pain
syndrome. [Subjects and Methods] Fifteen healthy college students (9 males, 6 females);
mean age, height, and weight: 22.2 years, 167.8 cm, and 61.4 kg, respectively)
participated. The knee angle was held at 60°. Muscle activities were measured once each
during an ordinary squat and a squat accompanied by hip joint adduction. The muscle
activities of the vastus medialis oblique and vastus lateralis were measured by
electromyography for five seconds while maintaining 60° knee flexion. Electromyography
signals were obtained at a sampling rate of 1,000 Hz and band pass filtering at 20–50 Hz.
The obtained raw root mean square was divided by the maximal voluntary isometric
contraction and expressed as a percentage. The selective activity of the vastus medialis
oblique was assessed according to the muscle activity ratio of the vastus medialis oblique
to the vastus lateralis. [Results] The activity ratio of the vastus medialis oblique was
higher during a squat with hip joint adduction than without. [Conclusion] A squat
accompanied by hip joint adduction is effective for the selective activation of the vastus
medialis oblique.Key words: Patellofemoral pain syndrome, Vastus medialis oblique, Squat 相似文献

Purpose/Background:
Historically, patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) has been viewed exclusively as a knee problem. Recent findings have suggested an association between hip muscle weakness and PFPS. Altered neuromuscular activity about the hip also may contribute to PFPS; however, more limited data exist regarding this aspect. Most prior investigations also have not concurrently examined hip and knee strength and neuromuscular activity in this patient population. Additional knowledge regarding the interaction between hip and knee muscle function may enhance the current understanding of PFPS. The purpose of this study was to compare hip and knee strength and electromyographic (EMG) activity in subjects with and without PFPS.Methods:
Eighteen females with PFPS and 18 matched controls participated in this study. First, surface EMG electrodes were donned on the gluteus medius, vastus medialis, and vastus lateralis. Strength measures then were taken for the hip abductors, hip external rotators, and knee extensors. Subjects completed a standardized stair-stepping task to quantify muscle activation amplitudes during the loading response, single leg stance, and preswing intervals of stair descent as well as to determine muscle onset timing differences between the gluteus medius and vastii muscles and between the vastus medialis and vastus lateralis at the beginning of stair descent.Results:
Females with PFPS demonstrated less strength of the hip muscles. They also generated greater EMG activity of the gluteus medius and vastus medialis during the loading response and single leg stance intervals of stair descent. No differences existed with respect to onset activation of the vastus medialis and vastus lateralis. All subjects had a similar delay in gluteus medius onset activation relative to the vastii muscles.Conclusion:
Rehabilitation should focus on quadriceps and hip strengthening. Although clinicians have incorporated gluteus medius exercise in rehabilitation programs, additional attention to the external rotators may be useful.Level of Evidence: 4 相似文献7.

[Purpose] To investigate the effects of a seven-week quadriceps stretching program on the muscle fibre orientation of the vastus medialis oblique and vastus lateralis in the lower limbs by ultrasound imaging. [Participants and Methods] Twenty-seven healthy, physically fit, asymptomatic females and males (age 21.5 ± 1.3, Tegner activity level score ≥4) were recruited. Their initial vastus medialis oblique and vastus lateralis fibre angles were determined using ultrasound. They then undertook a seven-week quadriceps stretching program, 3 sets of stretches to be performed on both lower limbs, 3 times a week on 3 separate days. One volunteer was assigned as an intra-rater control and did not take part in the stretching program. The vastus lateralis and vastus medialis oblique fibre angles were measured again on completion of the exercise regime. [Results] A statistically significant decrease in muscle fibre angle was observed in both the right and left vastus medialis oblique, and the right and left vastus lateralis. [Conclusion] A 7-week stretching program can result in a significant decrease in muscle fibre angle in both the vastus medialis oblique and the vastus lateralis. This can help in understanding the effects of prescribed stretching exercises on athletic patients with PFP. 相似文献

[Purpose] This study assessed the exercise capacity of healthy adults while performing the inline lunge exercise by using Functional Movement Screen (FMS). Compared the difference in muscle activity of the quadriceps according to the exercise capacity. [Participants and Methods] Thirty two healthy participants (12 males, 20 females) participated in this study. The surface electromyography (sEMG) was used to measure the electrical activities for the vastus medialis (VM), rectus femoris (RF), vastus lateralis (VL) of quadriceps. [Results] Both groups had significant difference when sitting up and getting up during the inline lunge. In scores 3 group, vastus medialis showed higher muscle activity than vastus lateralis. On contrary, in scores 2 group, vastus lateralis had higher muscle activity than vastus medialis. [Conclusion] Therefore, this study suggests that inline lunge can help to strengthen the quadriceps effectively by showing the difference of quadriceps activity according to exercise capacity.Key words: Inline lunge, Muscle activity, Functional movement screen 相似文献

[Purpose] We evaluated the relationship between knee alignment and the electromyographic
(EMG) activity of the vastus medialis (VM) to the vastus lateralis (VL) muscles in
patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA) in a cross-sectional study. [Subjects and Methods]
Forty subjects with knee OA were assessed by anatomic radiographic knee alignment and the
VM/VL ratio was calculated. Surface EMG from both the VM and VL muscles were evaluated
during maximal isometric contraction at 60° knee flexion. Simultaneously, peak quadriceps
torque was assessed using an isokinetic dynamometer. Subjects were categorized into low,
moderate, and high varus groups according to knee malalignment. The peak quadriceps torque
and VM/VL ratio across groups, and their relationships with varus malalignment were
analyzed. [Results] All subjects had medial compartment OA and the VM/VL ratio of all
subjects was 1.31 ± 0.28 (mean ± SD). There were no significant differences in the peak
quadriceps torque or VM/VL ratios across the groups nor were there any significant
relationships with varus malalignment. [Conclusion] The VM/VL ratio and peak quadriceps
torque were not associated with the severity of knee varus malalignment.Key words: Malalignment, Knee, Quadriceps 相似文献

Recently taping techniques with the primary purpose of altering muscle activity have become a part of clinical physiotherapy practice. A firmly applied tape across the fibres of the vastus lateralis (VL) muscle has been proposed to decrease the VL muscle activity. The primary aim of this study was to assess the effects of an inhibitory muscle tape applied over the vastus lateralis (VL) muscle during stair climbing. Twenty five subjects without lower limb pathology were recruited. Normalised integrated EMG (IEMG) was analysed from VL, vastus medialis obliquus (VMO), biceps femoris (BF) and soleus muscles during stair climbing. The subjects were assessed during three conditions: no tape (untaped), (no tension) control tape and (tensioned tape) VL inhibitory taping application. There was a significant decrease (p<0.05) in the VL IEMG during the initial stance phase during both stair ascent and descent. The inhibition if the VL muscle occurred with both control and VL inhibitory tape applied. No significant differences (p>0.05) were noted in any of the other muscles assessed. The results demonstrated that there was a significant decrease in the IEMG of the VL both during stair ascent and descent with VL inhibitory tape and control tape applied in normal subjects. 相似文献

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to examine the vastus medialis oblique to vastus
lateralis ratio in two pelvic tilt positions while performing the sit-to-stand task.
[Subjects and Methods] Activation of the vastus medialis oblique and the vastus lateralis
muscles of 46 healthy subjects (25 males, 21 females) were recorded by surface
electromyography during the STS task with anterior pelvic tilt (sit with thoracolumbar
spine extended and pelvis in an anterior tilt) and neutral pelvic tilt (sit with
thoracolumbar spine relaxed and pelvis in the neutral tilt position) positions. Changes in
vastus medialis oblique, vastus lateralis activation and the vastus medialis
oblique/vastus lateralis ratio were analyzed. [Results] Vastus medialis oblique and vastus
lateralis muscle activation significantly increased in neutral pelvic tilt position, but
the vastus medialis oblique/vastus lateralis ratio was not statistically different.
[Conclusion] The sit-to-stand procedure with neutral pelvic tilt position increased
activation of the vastus medialis oblique and vastus lateralis, usefully strengthening the
quadriceps, but did not selectively activate the vastus medialis oblique muscle.Key words: Anterior pelvic tilt, Neutral pelvic tilt, Sit-to-stand task 相似文献

[Purpose] The present study aimed to determine changes in muscle activity while moving on
a treadmill at various speeds. [Subjects] The activities of the left vastus lateralis,
vastus medialis, hip adductors, lateral head of gastrocnemius, medial head gastrocnemius,
soleus, and tibialis anterior of 10 healthy male university students were analyzed.
[Methods] University students walked, jogged, and ran for 10 minutes each in random order,
and then myogenic potentials were measured 10 minutes later for 30 seconds. The flexion
angle of the lower limb upon initial contact, mid stance, and toe off were measured.
[Results] The average walking, jogging, and running speeds were 3.6 ± 0.4, 6.7 ± 0.6, and
10.4 ± 1.3 km/h, respectively. The average electromyographic activities of the vastus
medial, tibialis anterior, medial head of gastrocnemius, and lateral head of gastrocnemius
significantly differed. All muscles were more active during jogging and running than
walking. Only the soleus was more active during running than walking, and the activities
of the hip adductors and vastus lateralis did not significantly differ. [Conclusion]
Velocity is faster and the angles of the lower limbs and ground reaction force (GRF) are
larger during running than walking. The vastus medialis and soleus worked more easily
according to the angle of the knee joint, whereas the tibialis anterior worked more easily
at faster velocities and the medial and lateral heads of the gastrocnemius worked more
easily with an increased GRF.Key words: Walking, Running, Skeletal muscle 相似文献

[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
vastus medialis oblique (VMO) and vastus lateralis (VL) enable the patella to stabilize
during tracking. We followed the theories about open and closed kinetic chain exercises to
design two exercises, sling open chain knee extension (SOCKE) exercise and sling closed
chain knee extension (SCCKE) exercise. The purpose of our study was to research the
changes in quadriceps muscle activity during both exercises. [Methods] Electromyographic
analysis was used to explore the different effects of the two exercises. The MVC% was
calculated for the VMO and VL during exercise for analysis. [Results] We found that the
mean MVC% values of the VMO and VL during the SOCKE exercise were higher than those during
the SCCKE exercise. The ratio of the VMO to VL was 1.0 ± 0.19 during the SOCKE exercise
and 1.11 ± 0.15 during the SCCKE exercise. [Conclusions] The SOCKE exercise is targeted at
quadriceps muscle training and has a recruitment effect on the VMO. The beneficial effect
of the SOCKE exercise is better than that of the SCCKE exercise.Key words: Patellofemoral pain syndrome, Sling exercise therapy, Electromyography 相似文献

[Purpose] This investigation evaluated the effect of real-time feedback on electrical
activation of the quadriceps during 3 weight-bearing tasks of the Wii Fit
Plus®. [Subjects] Thirty male healthy volunteers were recruited. [Methods]
Activation of the vastus medialis, vastus lateralis, and rectus femoris muscles was
recorded during virtual lunge, single leg extension, and single leg reach exercises. Each
exercise was performed twice in 3 randomized experimental conditions (with visual
feedback, with auditory feedback, and with no feedback). The normalized electromyographic
data (using maximum voluntary isometric contraction) were analyzed using repeated measures
analysis of variance and Tukey’s test. [Results] No significant difference was found in
the muscles among the feedback conditions during the 3 exercises. However, the variation
in the muscle activity of the vastus medialis and vastus lateralis (18.23–29.20% of
maximum voluntary isometric contraction) was higher (47–62%) than that in the rectus
femoris (7.35–12.98% of maximum voluntary isometric contraction). [Conclusion] Real-time
feedback did not alter quadriceps activation during the Wii tasks. Additionally, these
games showed electromyographic activation levels similar to those for the same tasks
outside the virtual environment. The Wii weight-bearing tasks could therefore constitute a
physical activity program but without the additional benefit of feedback.Key words: Electromyography, Functional exercises, Exergames 相似文献

BACKGROUND: To compare hamstring to quadriceps muscle coactivity during level walking, stair ascent, and stair decent between individuals with and without knee osteoarthritis. METHODS: In a cross-sectional study, subjects with grade II knee osteoarthritis (n = 26), healthy age- and gender-matched (n = 20) and healthy, young adults (n = 20) performed three activities of daily living. During the stance phase of these activities surface electromyography was measured. Two coactivity ratios were computed, the biceps femoris to vastus lateralis ratio and the ratio of the biceps femoris EMG activity relative to the EMG activity measured during contraction- and velocity-specific maximal voluntary biceps femoris contraction, i.e., biceps femoris to maximal biceps femoris activity. FINDINGS: Subjects with knee osteoarthritis had significantly higher coactivity than age-matched healthy adults and young adults and healthy adults had more coactivity than young adults regardless the type of coactivity ratio. The biceps femoris to vastus lateralis ratio yielded 25% higher coactivity value than the biceps femoris to maximal biceps femoris ratio (P < 0.0001). The EMG activity of the vastus lateralis relative to maximal vastus lateralis EMG activity was 92% in subjects with knee osteoarthritis, 57% in age-matched controls, and 47% in young adults (P < 0.0001). INTERPRETATION: Patients with knee osteoarthritis revealed increased hamstring muscle activation while executing activities of daily living. Altered muscle activation at the knee may interfere with normal load distribution in the knee and facilitate disease progression. Therapeutic interventions should focus not only on quadriceps strengthening but also on improving muscle balance at the knee. 相似文献

BackgroundTo investigate the extent to which quadriceps muscle activation and strength are responsible for patellofemoral pain.MethodsA pain on–off switch system synchronized with a force transducer and surface electromyography was utilized on 32 volunteer patellofemoral pain patients during maximal isometric and squat exercises.FindingsThere were 26 patients out of the 32 tested who complained of pain during the squat or isometric test, of these 20 subjects presented a significant advantage for the vastus lateralis compared to the vastus medialis obliquis activation and 12 patients had decreased quadriceps strength of the symptomatic compared to the non symptomatic leg. All patients who demonstrated weak vastus medialis obliquis activation during the isometric exercise possessed the same symptoms during the squat. On the other hand, 9 patients who showed diminished vastus medialis obliquis activation during the squat displayed equal activation between the vastus medialis obliquis and the vastus lateralis during the isometric task. With regard to the timing for the onset of muscle activation, there were only 4 patients who had a difference (P = 0.03) between the symptomatic (0.042 s) and non-symptomatic legs (0.011 s).InterpretationCauses for patellofemoral pain vary and are not necessarily a result of quadriceps strength deficit or vastus medialis obliquis activation weakness. Patellofemoral pain patients who possess lower vastus medialis obliquis activation compared to the vastus lateralis do not necessarily have quadriceps weakness while patients presenting with quadriceps strength deficits do not always have an imbalance between vastus medialis obliquis and vastus lateralis activation. 相似文献

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to clarify the relationship between muscle echo intensity measured with ultrasound and the isokinetic strength of each of the three superficial quadriceps femoris muscles in healthy young adults. [Participants and Methods] We measured the echo intensity of the three superficial muscles of the quadriceps femoris in 25 healthy adults (10 males and 15 females; mean age, 22.3 years) using ultrasound. Moreover, we obtained the maximum force during isokinetic knee extension at 60°/s using an isokinetic dynamometer. [Results] In males and females, a significant negative correlation between echo intensity and muscle strength was found in the VM (r=−0.65 and r=−0.63, respectively). [Conclusion] In both males and females, only the muscle echo intensity of the vastus medialis was found to have a negative correlation with the maximum force during isokinetic knee extension at 60°/s. Our data lay the foundation for simplifying and rationally performing the measurement of muscle echo intensity of the quadriceps femoris. And it would therefore be sufficient to only measure the VM to clarify a relationship between EI and maximum isokinetic force in the quadriceps.Key words: Echo intensity, Isokinetic strength, Quadriceps femoris muscle 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of inhibition and facilitation taping techniques on the activity of vastus lateralis and vastus medialis obliquus. DESIGN: Repeated-measures design. SETTING: Laboratory in an educational institution. SUBJECTS: Thirty healthy females aged between 18 and 23 years. INTERVENTION: Subjects were tested during the application of inhibition tape, facilitation tape and no tape to vastus lateralis in random order. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Electromyographic activity of vastus lateralis and vastus medialis obliquus during stair descent was recorded using bipolar surface electrodes. RESULTS: Electromyographic activity of vastus lateralis and vastus medialis obliquus during the application of inhibition tape or facilitation tape did not alter significantly compared with no tape condition. CONCLUSIONS: Taping designed to inhibit or facilitate muscle activity via sensory stimulation does not affect vastus lateralis or vastus medialis obliquus activity in healthy subjects. Further investigation is required to find a means of muscle taping that could be recommended as an intervention for patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome. 相似文献

on the vastus medialis oblique/vastus lateralis ratio. [Subjects] Ten asymptomatic men
were recruited. [Methods] The EMG activities of the vastus medialis oblique and vastus
lateralis muscles were recorded using surface electrodes. The subject performed the squat
exercise under 3 different conditions. [Results] The vastus medialis oblique/vastus
lateralis ratio in condition 2 (1.5 ± 0.7) was significantly higher than that in
conditions 1 and 3 (1.0 ± 0.5, 1.1 ± 0.8, respectively) [Conclusion] Therefore, an
effectively slow movement speed is recommended for selective strengthening of vastus
medialis oblique using a slow speed-targeting device that provides biofeedback.Key words: Slow movement speed, Squat exercise, VMO 相似文献
