an overweight woman participates in her first rugby match without proper training and conditioning. upon catching the opening kickoff, she awkwardly twists her right knee, screams in pain, and falls to the ground. the team manager notes her patella is dislocated, residing on the lateral side of her knee. after straightening the woman's knee, the patellar dislocation is reduced (goes back into place). to prevent future dislocation of the patella, what specific muscle should be targeted during rehabilitation?

The Quadriceps muscle, because it holds the bones in the thigh together.
