PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was compare quadriceps femoris muscle activity while performing wall slide squats of four methods. METHODS: Forty subjects, with no history of patellofemoral pain, quadriceps injury, or other knee injury volunteered for this study. Muscle activation of the vastus medialis obliquus, rectus femoris, vastus lateralis muscles were recorded while subjects performed 10 consecutive wall slide squats. Subjects performed the wall slide squats during four different methods: (1) basic wall slide squat, (2) keep back upright against fitness ball, (3) standing of unstable surface, (4) squeezing ball between both knees. Statistical analysis were accomplished by utilizing the one-way ANOVA(Bonferroni's post-hoc test) by SPSS 20.0 program. Significance level was set at p<.05. RESULTS: Muscle activations induced wall slide squats of four methods compared and results showed that there was significant difference only in vastus medialis obliquus and rectus femoris but there was no significant difference in vastus lateralis. The vastus medialis obliquus was significantly different only keep back upright against fitness ball at post-hoc test. The rectus femoris was significantly different keep back upright against fitness ball and standing of unstable surface at post-hoc test. CONCLUSION: Based on these results, we conclude that quadriceps femoris muscle activations are differenced by performing wall slide squats of four different methods in healthy subjects. These data suggest that for quadriceps muscle strengthening, exercise professionals can perform the wall slide squats by altering several task variables. Further research is needed to determine the exact mechanism by which quadriceps function is altered.

Background: There is still controversy as to whether hip external rotation and dorsiflexion selectively activate the vastus medialis obliquus (VMO) during straight leg raise exercise. Due to the anatomical characteristics, hip adduction must be preceded to activate the VMO. In this study, the activities of the rectus femoris (RF), vastus lateralis (VL), VMO were measured by adding the hip adduction movement to the straight leg raise exercise with hip 45° external rotation and straight leg raise exercise with hip 45° external rotation and dorsiflexion. Through this, we want to find out whether the VMO is selectively activated. Methods: Thirteen healthy participants performed straight leg raise exercise with hip 45° external rotation, straight leg raise exercise with hip 45° external rotation and dorsiflexion, straight leg raise exercise with hip 45° external rotation and adduction, straight leg raise exercise with hip 45° external rotation and adduction and dorsiflexion was randomly performed. Through this, EMG data of the RF, VL, VMO were collected. Results: During the straight leg raise exercise, hip adduction increased the activity of the VMO and VL, no significant difference was found(p>.05). However, in the VMO/VL ratio, straight leg raise exercise with hip 45° external rotation and adduction and dorsiflexion activated the VMO and the VL at a ratio of about 1:1, It showed a significantly higher rate than straight leg raise exercise with hip 45° external rotation(p<.05). Conclusion: During the straight leg raise exercise, hip adduction is considered to be an important movement that can selectively induce the activity of the VMO. Therefore, follow-up studies on this should be conducted.

This study was done to compare the results of the one-incision technique and the conventional two incision technique for the arthroscopic treatment of the posterior cruciate ligament injury. Fifty-five patients with the posterior cruciate ligament injury underwent the arthroscopic posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using bone-patellar tendon-bone(BTB) graft. Patients with combined ligament injuries requiring concomitant operative treatment were excluded in this study. The conventional two-incision technique was performed in ten patients(Group I) and the one-incision technique in forty-five patients(Group II). The average duration of follow-up was 45 months in Group I(range, 40 to 50 months) and 36 months in Group II(range, 24 to 68 months). Auto BTB grafts were utilized for all patients in Group I. In Group II, 34 BTB autografts and 11 BTB allografts were utilized. The functional results were evaluated according to the Lysholm Knee Scoring scale and the Hospital for Special Surgery(HSS) knee ligament rating form. The postoperative posterior laxity was measured with a KT 1000 or 2000 arthrometer. Lysholm postoperative mean values were 90.0 in Group I and 90.6 in Group II. HSS mean values were 87.7 in Group I and 92.6 in Group II. HSS postoperative mean value showed better results in Group II(p=0.037). The average side-to-side difference of the posterior translation measured by the KT 2000 arthrometer were 2.10 mm(range, 1 to 4 mm) in Group I and 2.38 mm(range, 0 to 5 mm) in Group II. But there was no statistically significant difference. In Group II, the results of the autograft and allograft showed no significant difference. The arthroscopic posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using one-incision technique showed good results comparable to the conventional two-incision technique. This technique minimizes potential injury to the extensor mechanism, especially vastus medialis obliquus, and scar formation over the medial femoral condyle. The operation can be finished within one tourniquet time by using only one-incision.

목적: 슬개골 탈구는 다양한 원인을 가지고 있다. 슬개골 주위 연부조직 균형을 일차 목표로 한 치료 결과를 분석하였다. 대상 및 방법: 28명의 환자(여자 21명, 남자 7명)에서 발생한 32예의 슬개골 탈구를 대상으로 하였다. 환자군의 평균 연령은 11.5세였으며 수술 후 평균 4.6년을 추시하였다. 탈구의 종류는 만성 19예, 습관성 6예, 선천성 6예, 급성이 1예였다. 연부조직 균형 수술은 관절 외측 유리술, 내측 주름술, 내측 대퇴광근의 외측하부 이전술을 기본으로 하였고, 슬개건 전체 혹은 슬개건과 대퇴직건의 내측 일부의 내측 이동술, 원위 대퇴 교정 절골술 등을 선별적으로 시행하였다. 수술 전 Q각과, 대퇴 전염각, 경골 외회전각, TT-TG 거리(tibial tubercle-trochlear groove distance), 기계적 대퇴-경골각, Dejour 분류에 따른 대퇴 과간 절흔 이형성 등을 측정하였고 수술 전후 Lysholm-Tegner 점수를 이용하여 임상 결과를 분석하였다. 결과: 수술 전 평균 Q각은 9.3°±5.8°, TT-TG 거리는 15.5±6.2 mm, 대퇴 전염각은 25.6°±12.3°, 경골 외회전각은 30.4°±9.6°, 기계적 대퇴-경골각은 3.0°±6.4°, Lysholm-Tegner 점수는 75.8±9.6점이었다. Beighton score 5점 이상의 전신인대 이완성을 보인 환아는 11명이었다. 대퇴 과간 절흔의 이형성을 가진 환자는 22명이었고, Dejour 등의 분류에 따라 A형이 3명(4예), B형이 15명(16예), C형이 1명(1예), D형이 3명(4예)였다. 32예 중 28예에서 1차 수술로 정복을 얻었고, 아탈구를 보인 4예 중 3예에서 2차 수술, 그 중 1예에서 3차 수술 이후 정복을 얻었고, 1예는 경과 관찰 중이다. Lysholm-Tegner 점수는 수술 후 최종 85.6±11.6점으로 향상되었다. 결론: 슬개골 탈구의 다양한 원인을 동시에 모두 교정하기는 어렵다. 연부조직 균형 수술과 함께 대퇴골-경골 기계적 축과 염전 이상 교정 절골술 등 적절한 술식을 조합해야 만족스러운 결과를 얻을 수 있다.
