Rehabilitative ultrasound imaging for the assessment of selected morphometric parameters of the flexor hallucis longus muscle in healthy individuals: An inter- and intra- rater reliability study
Abstract:IntroductionUltrasound imaging (USI) is useful to evaluate structures of the foot to guide treatment, but the reliability of USI technique needs to be clarified. The goal of the study was to evaluate the intra- and inter-examiner reliability of USI image capture, and measurement of the cross-sectional area (CSA) and thickness of the flexor hallucis longus (FHL) for experienced and novice examinersMaterial and methodsFHL images were captured for 20 healthy adults. Reliability of image capture was evaluated betw… Show more
