Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate the validity and reliability of measurement for cervical multifidus using ultrasonography, and to investigate cervical multifidus muscle function by the change pattern of multifidus thickness, and to compare the changes in muscle thickness among different resistance levels (rest, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%) and different cervical levels (C4, C5 and C6).
