Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Ultrasound (US) measures of muscle thickness are used in the management and monitoring of muscle changes during rehabilitation, but it is unknown how this measure compares to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) measures of muscle cross-sectional area (CSA) in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI).

CASE PRESENTATION: Six participants with incomplete SCI underwent US imaging and MRI of their gastrocnemius and tibialis anterior (TA) muscles.

DISCUSSION: Significant correlations were found between US muscle thickness and MRI CSA in the gastrocnemius (
