Vastus Medialis Oblique Muscle Rehab, and EMS

[Deleted User]

Has anyone here successfully rehabilitated their VMO? What exercises did they find most helpful? Static quad contractions & straight leg extensions just dont seem to be doing the job for me.
What treatment did anyone have any success with? I was thinking about investing in an EMS system, as I read a paper suggesting that it might prove useful, and to be frank, Im getting desperate.
Has anyones physio treated them using one of these?
Cheers for your help guys...

Don't know about rehabilitating my VMO, but I've certainly exercised it - particularly when I injured my knee last year.
I'm sure I was told that the last few degrees of a straight leg extension is when the VMO comes into play. Maybe try doing them from a position where the leg is nearly fully extended already?

What was/is the problem with your vastus medialis ? I ask because I`ve had problems & have been trying to obtain treatment for the last few months ?
