However the relationship between these moments and muscle activity has not been studied. Thus the four primary objectives of this study were to test whether manipulating the inversion\/eversion foot angle alters the varus\/valgus knee moment (Objective 1) and axial knee moment (Objective 2) and to determine whether activation patterns of the vastus medialis oblique (VMO), vastus lateralis (VL), and tensor fascia latae (TFL) were affected by changes in the varus\/valgus (Objective 3) and axial knee moments (Objective 4). To fulfill these objectives, pedal loads and lower limb kinematic data were collected from 15 subjects who pedaled with five randomly assigned inversion\/eversion angles: 10 deg and 5 deg everted and inverted and 0deg (neutral). A previously described mathematical model was used to compute the nondriving intersegmental knee moments throughout the crank cycle. The excitations of the VMO, VL, and TFL muscles were measured with surface electromyography and the muscle activations were computed. On average, the 10-deg everted position decreased the peak varus moment by 55% and decreased the peak internal axial moment by 53% during the power stroke (crank cycle region where the knee moment is extensor). A correlation analysis revealed that the VMO\/VL activation ratio increased significantly and the TFL activation decreased significantly as the varus moment decreased. For both the VMO\/VL activation ratio and the TFL activation, a path analysis indicated that the varus\/valgus moment was highly correlated to the axial moment but that the correlation between muscle activation and the varus moment was due primarily to the varus\/valgus knee moment rather than the axial knee moment. The conclusion from these results is that everting the foot may be beneficial towards either preventing or ameliorating patellofemoral pain syndrome in cycling.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1115\/1.2193543","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,5,15]],"date-time":"2006-05-15T22:16:21Z","timestamp":1147731381000},"page":"391-398","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1115\/crossmarkpolicy-asme","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":21,"title":["How Changing the Inversion\/Eversion Foot Angle Affects the Nondriving Intersegmental Knee Moments and the Relative Activation of the Vastii Muscles in Cycling"],"prefix":"10.1115","volume":"128","author":[{"given":"Colin S.","family":"Gregersen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Biomedical Engineering Program, One Shields Avenue, University of California, Davis, CA 95616"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M.
