ObjectivesThe purpose of the present study is to review the existing literature regarding the response of the Vastus medialis oblique (VMO) and Vastus lateralis (VL) muscles of patients with Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) to open and closed kinetic chain exercises. Search methodsA search was conducted for randomised and non-randomised controlled trials published by July 2016 and involving comparative analysis of exercise treatment with control groups or various exercise treatment types. The following resources were searched: the Cochrane Bone, Joint and Muscle Trauma Group and Cochrane Rehabilitation and Related Therapies Field specialised registers, the Cochrane Controlled Trials Register, The Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro), MEDLINE, EMBASE, and CINAHL. Data collection and analysisTrials were excluded if they were not concerned with exercise therapy in individuals with PFPS. Thus, only nine out of 91 trials found were included and they all employed statistical techniques to assess the response of VMO and VL muscles to open and closed kinetic chain exercises. Main resultsThe trials under review are too few in number and are inconsistent with regard to rehabilitation strategies and outcome assessment. They underline the necessity for reviewing RCT trials on a wider scale as the evidence they supply in support of use of open and closed kinetic chain exercises is insufficient. Trials have to be comparable in terms of participant traits, intervention and outcome assessment to improve the validity of the conclusions drawn. It was not possible to definitely say whether one intervention was better than another, because different interventions were implemented in the reviewed trials. Furthermore, future research should also include placebo-controlled trials to ascertain the efficiency of various interventions. Keywords

“…According to many studies, it has been considered that weakness of the VMO muscle results in PFPS and that this condition is caused by an imbalance in activity between the VMO and the VL muscle 13 ) . In general, strengthening exercise for the quadriceps femoris muscle has been regarded as a common intervention for patients with PFPS in the field of physical therapy, and use of open kinetic chain exercise has been preferred 6 ) . However, open chain knee extension produces anterior shear force that induces stress in the patellofemoral joint.…”

“…Among the many risk factors including structural abnormalities, kinematic variables, and onset timing of medial and lateral vastii muscles, abnormal patellar tracking is regarded as a major precursor 3 , 7 , 8 ) . Many studies have reported that lateralization of the patella is observed in patients with PFPS, and this abnormal tracking is caused by an imbalance between the vastus medialis oblique (VMO) muscle and the vastus lateralis (VL) muscle 6 , 9 ) . The ratio of the VMO muscle activity relative to the VL muscle activity in PFPS patients is less than that in healthy subjects 10 ) .…”

Analysis of vastus lateralis and vastus medialis oblique muscle activation during squat exercise with and without a variety of tools in normal adults

[Purpose] The present study investigated the effects of squat exercises with and without a variety of tools including a gym ball, wedge, and elastic band on the vastus lateralis and vastus medialis oblique muscles. [Subjects and Methods] A total of twenty healthy subjects with no history of neurological, musculoskeletal injury, or pain in the lower extremities were recruited. All subjects performed four types of exercise (conventional squat exercise, squat exercise with a gym ball, squat exercise with a wedge, squat exercise with an elastic band). [Results] There were no significant differences between exercises in comparison of the vastus lateralis muscle activity. In the squat exercise with a wedge, significantly higher activity of the vastus medialis oblique muscle was found compared with in the squat exercise with an elastic band. [Conclusion] The present study suggests that the conventional squat exercise can be one of the useful interventions for patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome.

“…Surface electromyography (sEMG) is a technique for measuring muscle activation onset, muscle activation duration, and muscle exertion level. It is commonly used by researchers [1,2] and physical therapists [3] as a tool for biofeedback [4], as an index of muscle fatigue [2], as a strength training tool [5], and as a motor learning and rehabilitation tool [6].…”

This paper presents a brief description of surface electromyography (sEMG), what it can be used for, as well as some of the problems associated with visual displays of sEMG data. Sonifications of sEMG data have shown potential for certain applications in data monitoring and movement training, however there are still challenges related to the design of these sonifications that need to be addressed. Our previous research has shown that different sonification designs resulted in better listener performance for different sEMG evaluation tasks (e.g. identifying muscle activation time vs. muscle exertion level). Based on this finding, we speculated that sonifications may benefit from being designed to be task-specific, and that integrating a task analysis into the sonification design process may help sonification designers identify intuitive and meaningful sonification designs. This paper presents a brief introduction to what a task analysis is, provides an example of how a task analysis can be used to inform sonification design, and outlines future research into a task-analysis-based approach to sonification design.
