Reliability of muscle architecture assessment using clinical ultrasound in post-stroke patients: a systematic review
Ultrasound generally demonstrated moderate-to-excellent reliability for measuring muscle architecture parameters, including muscle thickness, pennation angle, cross-sectional area, muscle volume, and length, across various muscles in post-stroke patients, with supporting evidence rating from moderate to strong.
