The articularis genus, which lies under the vastus intermedius, has been regarded as part of the quadriceps femoris. However, they are well known to have different function because their respective origins and insertions are mutually distinct. The e muscles are considered to work almost simultaneously when the knee is extended. The electromyogram has been used to demonstrate muscle co-contraction. However, the articularis genus is deeper than other muscles. Moreover, it is difficult to analyze it by surface electromyogram. The relative proportions of muscle fiber types and the characteristics of these fiber types are important deter minants of the surface electromyogram. Furthermore, biomechanical analysis of AG has remained unclear. This study investigated the ratio o f muscle fiber types in these muscles. Muscle samples from seven human cadaveric specimens were used with application of immunofluorescence double staining. Results show that in the vastus intermedius and articularis genus, the percentage of Type I fibers was significantly higher than that of Type II fibers. No significant difference was found in the mean percentages of Type I and Type II fiber types. The percentages of Type I and Type II fibers in articularis genus muscle were correlated positively to the percent age in the vastus intermedius. These results suggest that similar muscle fiber compositions of these muscles might reflect their contracti on during the same active phase of knee extension, despite their different functions.
