The Importance of the VMO Muscle in Knee Stability and Recovery
The vastus medialis oblique (VMO) muscle, part of the quadriceps group, is critical for knee stability and function. Positioned on the inner thigh, the VMO aids in patellar alignment and knee extension. Strengthening the VMO is essential for preventing knee injuries like Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome, Runner’s Knee, and ACL injuries,…The vastus medialis oblique (VMO) muscle, part of the quadriceps group, is critical for knee stability and function. Positioned on the inner thigh, the VMO aids in patellar alignment and knee extension. Strengthening the VMO is essential for preventing knee injuries like Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome, Runner’s Knee, and ACL injuries, while enhancing athletic performance and recovery post-injury or surgery. Common issues include VMO weakness or imbalance, leading to knee instability. Effective exercises for VMO strengthening include terminal knee extensions, short-arc quads, and lunges. Strengthening the VMO can alleviate discomfort in daily activities and sports, reduce knee pain, and decrease the risk of knee injuries. A strong VMO is beneficial for individuals with osteoarthritis by improving knee function and reducing pain.
