Measurement of cervical multifidus and longus colli muscles dimensions in patients with cervical radiculopathy and healthy controls using ultrasonography: A reliability study

Cervical radiculopathy is an increasing musculoskeletal disorder, with high prevalence in the office workers. In recent years, ultrasonography (US) is reported to be a valid, non-expensive and non-invasive technique for the objective evaluation of the morphology of muscles. However, measuring deep cervical paraspinal muscle dimensions using US in patients with cervical radiculopathy has not yet been demonstrated.
