With the static lunge, foot position did not change.

They didn’t look at dynamic lunge in the study.

it would be a good one to look into.

Sounds a bit like an oxymoron. It would be helpful to know as I'm wondering if walking lunges are as effective as split squats, or furthurmore, maintaining the lowest phase of the split squat position for a given period of time (which is what I imagine the 'static lunge' could be?) Or is it lunging and then pushing off with the front foot to return to the original position, and repeat? Thanks in advance.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('689','Carla'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('689','Carla','For exercises tested in the study, what exactly is meant by a \"static\" lunge?

Done for 10 reps three times a day as a corrective exercise can be very successful for PF pain. Mind, some people have a terrible time learning to activate the VMO in this way and require a fair amount of coaching. Wish this had been included in the study.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('666','Barry Hodgins'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('666','Barry Hodgins','I think one important exercise was missed regarding building VMO strength: Knee extension as you described but focussing on contracting the VMO at the top of the extension (focus on the last 5 degrees of the exercise and isometrically contract the VMO for 5 seconds).
