Comparison of manual and semi-automated algorithm for measuring architectural features during different isometric knee extension intensities: a reliability and comparative study in novice raters
The findings of this study suggest that the reliability of manual measurement is lower when novice raters perform image analyses compared to the semi-automated method. Therefore, careful consideration and training should be provided when considering manual assessment of muscle architecture values, and standardized identification methods and features in algorithm development may be a better method for reproducibility.
