Lateral Pull - Vastus Lateralis, Iliotibial Band Medial Pull - Vastus Medialis Obliqus (VMO) Increased Q Angle - Increased PF Pressure, Patellar dislocation Changes required in training - 1. Squat below parallel. Squatting to depth means bringing more hamstring into the movement and taking some strain off the ACL and knees. 2. VMO workout. The vastus medialis oblique is put under a lot of pressure helping to stabilize the knee. Program terminal knee extensions (using a band) and step ups into your workouts to strengthen the top half of the knee extension without a ton of excess load. 3. Strengthen the vastus medialis, increase glute strength (particularly the external hip rotators), and work on core integrity to minimize the chances of knee pain while lifting.
