“…The overall reliability (relative and absolute) shown in the present study seems to be worse than those reported by Jenkins et al 12 , who used panoramic and transverse US imaging to measure similar parameters. These authors investigated the test–retest reliability and sensitivity to change for MT and EI measurements of the forearm flexor muscle in 14 men.…”

“…Then, standard error of the measurement (SEM), smallest detectable change (SDC), coefficient of variation (CV), and Bland and Altman plot analysis were used to assess absolute reliability 17 . ICC type 2,1 (ICC 2,1 ) was used 12 , 19 , 25 . Subsequently, SEM was calculated using the following equation 17 : SEM = SD

“…Changes at the site where measurement is performed and probe compression rate may significantly affect US results. Consequently, studies have been conducted to validate the US measurements of muscle cross-sectional area and to determine their test-retest reliability 8 , 9 , 11 , 12 . For example, Reeves et al 8 reported that the validity of US against MRI in assessing muscle size produced excellent intraclass correlation coefficient values ranging between 0.998 and 0.999.…”

BackgroundDifferent ultrasound parameters have been frequently used to assess changes associated with training, aging, immobilization, and neuromuscular diseases. However, an exploratory reliability analysis of the echo intensity (EI) and muscle thickness (MT) of the forearm flexors is scarce, especially in women.ObjectiveThe purpose of the present study was to determine the intra-rater reliability of MT and EI assessed by ultrasound in young women.MethodUltrasonographic MT and EI were acquired in the forearm flexors of 41 young women (22±2 yrs). Reliability was calculated using intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC2,1), standard error of measurement (SEM), coefficient of variation (CV), smallest detectable change (SDC), and Bland and Altman plot analysis.ResultsICC values for MT and EI were 0.88 (95% CI: 0.78-0.93). The SEM and CV values were lower than 10%. Bland and Altman analysis revealed that ultrasound mean differences were 0.27 mm (Limits of Agreement - LOA 95%: - 2.6 to 3.2 mm) and -0.09 a.u. (LOA 95%: - 10.9 to 10.7 a.u.).ConclusionMT and EI assessed by ultrasonography in young women appear to be reliable and may be used to monitor changes in muscle mass induced by strength training when these changes exceed the precision of ultrasound.

“…Generally, ICCs from 0.81 to 1.00 indicate “almost perfect” agreement [24]. Previous studies have reported that the intraclass correlation coefficient for muscle thickness measurements of MT, LT, and biceps brachii were 0.81, 0.91, and 0.97, respectively [25‐27]. Our findings suggested that the ultrasonographic measurements of muscle thickness in the present study were comparably reliable.…”

“…Ultrasound images of the leg extensors were obtained using a portable brightness mode (B-mode) ultrasound-imaging device (GE Logiq e, USA) and a multi-frequency lineararray probe (12L-RS; 5-13 MHz; 38.4 mm field-of-view) (Ahtiainen et al 2010;Jenkins et al 2015). The participants were positioned on a padded wooden table while lying in the supine position with their legs extended, relaxed, supported on the table, and their feet braced.…”
