Background Appropriate timing of activity of the vastus medialis obliqus (VMO) and vastus lateralis (VL) muscles is a key factor for proper tracking of the patella in the trochlear groove during knee ...

Conclusion While both surgical approaches provided similar overall recovery outcomes, MV led to greater improvements in quadriceps strength and knee extension, suggesting a potentially quicker ...

There’s another exercise that is often overlooked, one that plays a crucial role in knee stability and rehabilitation: the leg extension. … Read More >This Common Gym Exercise Might Be the Key to Heal ...
