Measurement of Cervical Multifidus and Longus Colli Muscle Dimensions in Patients With Cervical Radiculopathy and Healthy Controls Using Ultrasonography: A Reliability Study

In recent years, ultrasonography (US) has been reported to be a valid, inexpensive, and noninvasive technique for the objective evaluation of muscle morphology. However, measuring deep cervical paraspinal muscle dimensions using US in patients with cervical radiculopathy has not been described.
