A Gel Pad Designed to Measure Muscle Volume Using Freehand 3‐Dimensional Ultrasonography

We developed an innovative gel pad that covers the entire lower leg to remove artifacts due to the pressure of the transducer in freehand 3‐dimensional ultrasonography. In comparison to the reference method in water, this study showed that this new method was valid (bias, 3.4 mL; limit of agreement,...

Zusammenfassung:We developed an innovative gel pad that covers the entire lower leg to remove artifacts due to the pressure of the transducer in freehand 3‐dimensional ultrasonography. In comparison to the reference method in water, this study showed that this new method was valid (bias, 3.4 mL; limit of agreement, 7.7 mL for a volume of ≈220 mL) and reliable (coefficient of variation,
