Résumé
Changes in hormonal levels during the menstrual cycle are known to affect muscle electromyographic (EMG) activity, but no studies have investigated the effect of hormonal changes on the EMG activity of muscles around the knee in patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS). To evaluate the EMG activity of the vastus medialis obliquus (VMO) and vastus lateralis (VL) muscles during toe rise and heel rock tasks in different phases of the menstrual cycle in women with PFPS. Cross sectional study. Rehabilitation Research Center at the School of Rehabilitation Sciences of Shiraz University of Medical Sciences. Ten women with PFPS between 18 and 40 years of age. Not applicable. The VL/VMO amplitude ratio and differences between onset (onset VL-onset VMO) of vastii muscle activity were measured in the affected limb during rise and rock tasks in the follicular and ovulatory phases of the menstrual cycle. The signals were analyzed with MATLAB software. During both tasks, there were no significant changes in onset differences in vastii muscles between the ovulatory and follicular phases. However, the amplitude ratio (VL/VMO) was significantly lower in the ovulatory phase compared to the follicular phase (P = .035 for rise tasks and .010 for rock tasks). The menstrual cycle may affect some EMG parameters. These factors can be taken into account when planning sports and rehabilitation training programs.

BACKGROUND
Changes in hormonal levels during the menstrual cycle are known to affect muscle electromyographic (EMG) activity, but no studies have investigated the effect of hormonal changes on the EMG activity of muscles around the knee in patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS).
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the EMG activity of the vastus medialis obliquus (VMO) and vastus lateralis (VL) muscles during toe rise and heel rock tasks in different phases of the menstrual cycle in women with PFPS.
DESIGN
Cross sectional study.
SETTING
Rehabilitation Research Center at the School of Rehabilitation Sciences of Shiraz University of Medical Sciences.
PARTICIPANTS
Ten women with PFPS between 18 and 40 years of age.
INTERVENTION
Not applicable.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES
The VL/VMO amplitude ratio and differences between onset (onset VL-onset VMO) of vastii muscle activity were measured in the affected limb during rise and rock tasks in the follicular and ovulatory phases of the menstrual cycle. The signals were analyzed with MATLAB software.
RESULTS
During both tasks, there were no significant changes in onset differences in vastii muscles between the ovulatory and follicular phases. However, the amplitude ratio (VL/VMO) was significantly lower in the ovulatory phase compared to the follicular phase (P = .035 for rise tasks and .010 for rock tasks).
CONCLUSION
The menstrual cycle may affect some EMG parameters. These factors can be taken into account when planning sports and rehabilitation training programs.
