To evaluate the reproducibility of real-time ultrasonography as a method for measuring the size of the splenius capitis muscle (SPCM).
Ten right-handed women (non-athletes) aged 19-29 years were studied. Muscle cross-sectional area (CSA), anterior-posterior dimension (APD), and lateral dimension (LD) were measured bilaterally on 2 successive days, twice each day.
The coefficient of variation (CV) of CSA was 2.7% between times, and 3.0% between days. No significant correlations were found between muscle CSA and the anthropometric variables (neck girth, height, weight, fat percentage and body mass index). A significant correlation between CSA and the multiple of the 2 linear dimensions (MLD = LD x APD) was found (r = 0.76, p = < 0.01). CSA of SPCM was larger on the dominant side (p < 0.05).
The results suggest that real-time ultrasonography is a useful method for evaluating the size of the SPCM.
评估实时超声检查作为测量头夹肌(SPCM)大小方法的可重复性。
对10名年龄在19 - 29岁的右利手女性(非运动员)进行研究。在连续两天内,每天双侧测量肌肉横截面积(CSA)、前后径(APD)和横径(LD)两次。
CSA的时间变异系数(CV)为2.7%,日间变异系数为3.0%。未发现肌肉CSA与人体测量学变量(颈围、身高、体重、脂肪百分比和体重指数)之间存在显著相关性。发现CSA与两个线性维度的乘积(MLD = LD×APD)之间存在显著相关性(r = 0.76,p = < 0.01)。优势侧的SPCM的CSA更大(p < 0.05)。
结果表明实时超声检查是评估SPCM大小的一种有用方法。
