Vastus Muscle

Vastus Muscle

 

The Vastus Muscles, including the vastus lateralis, vastus medialis, vastus intermedius, and rectus femoris, collectively make up the quadriceps muscle group in the thigh. These muscles are of significant importance in orthopaedics due to their crucial role in knee extension and overall lower limb function. In orthopaedics, assessments often involve evaluating the vastus muscles in cases of knee injuries, patellofemoral pain, or conditions affecting lower limb biomechanics. Dysfunction in the vastus muscles can contribute to difficulties in activities such as walking, climbing stairs, or rising from a seated position. Rehabilitation strategies for vastus-related issues in orthopaedics may include exercises to strengthen these muscles, particularly focusing on the vastus medialis for patellar stability. Physical therapists work to address muscle imbalances, optimize knee joint mechanics, and enhance overall lower limb function.
