Intra‐ and inter‐observer reliability of ultrasound muscle thickness of gluteal and biceps femoris long head in individuals with and without SCI
Ultrasound can assess muscle thickness with moderate to good intra-observer reliability in AB participants, but with only poor to moderate inter-observer reliability. In contrast, intra-observer reliability was excellent in participants with SCI. Reliability depends on observer experience and varies across muscles and populations.
