reliability of rehabilitative ultrasonography to measure transverse abdominis and multifidus muscle dimensions
results intraclass correlation coefficient for left and right showed good to high reliability for the cross sectional area of lumbar multifidi (0.74 and 0.88, respectively) as well as the anterior-posterior dimensions of lumbar multifidi (0.89 and 0.91, respectively) and transverse abdomini thickness (0.73 and 0.85, respectively). conclusions rehabilitative ultrasonography is a reliable and non...
متن کاملReliability of Rehabilitative Ultrasonography to Measure Transverse Abdominis and Multifidus Muscle Dimensions
BACKGROUND Lumbar paraspinal muscles play an important role in providing both mobility and stability during dynamic tasks. Among paraspinal muscles, transverse abdominis and lumbar multifidus have been of particular interest as active stabilizers of the lumbar spine. These muscles may become dysfunctional in chronic low back pain (CLBP). Low back injury can result in muscle inhibition and contr...
متن کاملMeasurement of lumbar multifidus muscle contraction with rehabilitative ultrasound imaging.
Rehabilitative Ultrasound Imaging (RUSI) has been validated as a noninvasive method to measure activation of selected muscles. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between muscle thickness change, as measured by ultrasonography, and electromyography (EMG) activity of the lumbar multifidus (LM) muscle in normal subjects. Bipolar fine wire electrodes were inserted into the ...
متن کاملThe Intrarater Reliability of Rehabilitation Ultrasonography and Linear and Cross Sectional Measurements of the Lumbar Multifidus Muscles in Normal Subjects
Objective: Using rehabilitation ultrasonography imaging (RUSI) is widely growing in the physiotherapy clinics of developed countries. Due to this new application, it is necessary to consider the repeatability of this new technique by novice physiotherapists and applied methods to measure the muscle size. This study has been designed to investigate the intrarater reliability and also the relatio...
متن کاملReliability of diagnostic ultrasound in measuring the multifidus muscle
BACKGROUND Ultrasound is frequently used to measure activity in the lumbar multifidus muscle (LMM). However previous reliability studies on diagnostic ultrasound and LMM have included a limited number of subjects and few have used Bland-Altman's Limits of Agreement (LOA). Further one does not know if activity affects the subjects' ability to contract the LMM. METHODS From January 2012 to Dece...
