Reliability of ultrasound measurement of the lateral abdominal and lumbar multifidus muscles in individuals with chronic low back pain: A cross-sectional test-retest study.
TLDR
The findings indicate that US imaging has good to high intrarater within- and between-day reliability for assessing absolute thickness and contraction ratio of the trunk muscles on both right and left sides in patients with nonspecific CLBP.About:

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.

Quantifying test-retest reliability using the intraclass correlation coefficient and the SEM.
TL;DR: In this review, the basics of classic reliability theory are addressed in the context of choosing and interpreting an ICC and how the SEM and its variants can be used to construct confidence intervals for individual scores and to determine the minimal difference needed to be exhibited for one to be confident that a true change in performance of an individual has occurred.

TL;DR: A new activity grading scale, where work and sport activities were graded numerically, was constructed as complement to the functional score, showing that the symptom-related score gave a more differentiated picture of the disability.

Multifidus size and symmetry among chronic LBP and healthy asymptomatic subjects.

TL;DR: The results of this study support previous findings that the pattern of multifidus muscle atrophy in chronic LBP patients is localized rather than generalized and between side asymmetry may be seen in chronicLBP patients presenting with a unilateral pain distribution.
