Table 1. Reliability of ultrasound analysis of the forearm flexors of women (n=41).
Ultrasound Parameters | Evaluation 1 | Evaluation 2 | ICC2,1 | SEM | CV | SRD | p Value |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Muscle Thickness (mm) | 20.51 (4.23) | 20.78 (4.42) | 0.88 (95% CI: 0.78-0.93) | 1.02 | 4.95 | 2.82 | 0.24 |
Echo Intensity (U.A.) | 44.71 (12.70) | 44.50 (12.58) | 0.88 (95% CI: 0.78-0.93) | 3.70 | 8.28 | 10.23 | 0.80 |
Data from Evaluations 1 and 2 are reported as mean (SD). ICC: intraclass correlation coefficient; CI: 95% confidence interval; SEM: standard error of measurement; CV: coefficient of variation; SRD: smallest real difference; p value: probability value for the t test.
