The action of the rectus femoris muscle following distal tendon transfer : does it generate knee flexion moment ?

DEV MED CHILD NEUROL , 1997, vol. 39, n° 2, p. 99-105 Doc n°: 79733 Localisation : Documentation IRR Descripteurs : DE561 - TRAITEMENT CHIRURGICAL - GENOU Electromyographic activity was monitored in the quadriceps, hamstrings and gastrocnemius muscles to verify that the rectus femoris was the only muscle activated by the stimulus. We found that the rectus femoris generated a knee extension moment in all of the subjects tested. This finding suggests that transfer surgery does not convert the rectus femoris to a knee flexor, and that a mechanism exists which may transmit the force generated by the rectus femoris anterior to the knee joint center after distal tendon transfer.
