intramuscular cavernous hemangiomas represent less than 1% of all hemangiomas. typical presentation is a soft-tissue mass and/or pain without cutaneous changes. whereas calcification of hemangiomas is common; ossification of these lesions is very rare. we describe a case of ossified intramuscular hemangioma of quadriceps presented with painless knee extension contracture and thigh mass.

background: the aim of this study was to investigate muscle damage indicators and electromyography activities of quadriceps muscles at 25° of hip flexion in untrained healthy females after an eccentric exercise induced muscle fiber damage.   methods : a total of 14 healthy females participated in this pre-experimental study. the subjects performed maximal eccentric quadriceps contractions at 25...

both vitamin d deficiency and quadriceps muscle weakness are associated with knee osteoarthritis (koa) and pain. the aim of this study was to determine the restorative effect of vitamin d deficiency on pain and quadriceps muscle strength in knee osteoarthritis. patients with koa aged≥30 years, the presence of knee pain for at least one month or longer and serum 25-hydroxyvitamin (25-ohd) defici...

purpose there is a decrease in quadriceps muscle strength in subjects with patellofemoral pain syndrome. various types of strengthening exercises of the quadriceps are done as part of its management, but the effect of isotonic eccentric quadriceps muscle exercises on patellofemoral pain syndrome has not been studied. hence the aim of this exploratory pilot study was to evaluate the effect of ec...

Purpose: Proprioception is a part of the somatosensory system responsible for sending information to the central nervous system to monitor the status of various body parts relative to each another. One of the main causes of impaired proprioception is fatigue. In the following study, the effects of fatigue on quadriceps muscle and hence on knee proprioception in healthy subjects was studied.&nbs...

Background: Knee extension torque control decreases after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture. There is a controversy in neuromuscular control changes on the uninvolved side. We intended to evaluate the steadiness and accuracy of quadriceps muscle control in the healthy and deficient sides of people with acute ACL rupture.    Methods: In this cross-sectional study, thirteen men with ACL r...

Our findings identified quadriceps muscle function as an important determinant of exercise capacity across a wide spectrum lung function. Quadriceps endurance appears to be more than strength, underlining the importance including both measurement strength and in routine assessment for all patient with COPD.
