- Abstract
The article presents a study examining the impact of lateral hip rotation on the electromyography activity of the rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, and vastus medialis obliquus muscles during an isometric contraction. According to the study, the use of isometric exercises in rehabilitation programs for patients with the overuse injury patellofemoral pain syndrome may not be beneficial.
