All participants performed quadriceps isometric exercise with knee flexion 60° by Cybex7000. The EMG activity of three knee extensor, vastus lateralis(VL), rectus femoris(RF), and vastus medialis(VM), in the subject' s isometric exercise(maximal voluntary isometric contraction, MVlC) was monitored using bipolar surlace electrodes. The magnitude of the average peak iEMG for each muscle monitored during the stactic motion is calculated as a percentage of the normalized peak iEMG during the MVIC. And the results were follows 1) Statistical analysis demonstrated significantly different maximal isometric force of quadriceps during changes of hip angle.(P<.05) 2) Between 100° and 130° at hip angles, isometric force of quadriceps increased. Between 130° and 160° at hip angles, isometric force of quadriceps decreased. 3) Maximal isometric force of quadriceps was significantly increasing rate between 100° and 110° at hip angle.(P<.05) 4) Maximal isometric force of quadriceps was significantly decreasing rate between 140° and 150° at hip angle.(P<.05) 5) The isometric force of rectus femoris during changes of hip angle was significantly different (P<.05) 6) The VL/RF, VL/VM, RF/VM iEMG ratios during changes of hip angle was significantly different(P<.05)Read More
