TL;DR: RUSI thickness measurements of the TrA and lumbar multifidus muscles in patients with LBP, when based on the mean of 2 measures, are highly reliable when taken by a single examiner and adequately reliable when taking by different examiners.
Reliability of rehabilitative ultrasound imaging of the transversus abdominis and lumbar multifidus musculature
TL;DR: In this article, the intraexaminer and interexaminer reliability of rehabilitation ultrasound imaging (RUSI) in obtaining thickness measurements of the transversus abdominis (TrA) and lumbar multifidus muscles at rest and during contractions was evaluated.
Journal ArticleDOI
A systematic review of the reliability of rehabilitative ultrasound imaging for the quantitative assessment of the abdominal and lumbar trunk muscles.
TL;DR: The majority of results of high quality studies indicate that RUSI has good levels of rater reliability, and improved reliability was observed among studies examining muscle thickness, and when using mean measurement values obtained by more experienced examiners.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rehabilitative ultrasound imaging is a valid measure of trunk muscle size and activation during most isometric sub-maximal contractions: a systematic review
TL;DR: It is valid to use rehabilitative ultrasound imaging to measure trunk muscle size and activation during most isometric sub-maximal contractions, and ultrasound measures appear sensitive to both positive and negative change.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of averaging multiple trials on measurement error during ultrasound imaging of transversus abdominis and lumbar multifidus muscles in individuals with low back pain
TL;DR: When using RUSI to determine percent change in TrA and LM muscle thickness, intra examiner measurement precision appears to be optimized by using an average of 3 consecutive measurements.
