Intra- and inter-rater reliability of ultrasound measurements of the levator ani muscle thickness in and M-mode in asymptomatic individuals: a cross-sectional study
M-mode ultrasound imaging demonstrates excellent inter-rater reliability for LAM thickness measurement and fair intra-rater reliability for other functional variables. This technique appears to be a promising method for evaluating pelvic floor muscle activity.
