[Purpose] To investigate the intra- and inter-rater reliability of the cross-sectional area (CSA) and muscle thickness (MT) of the longus colli according to the inward pressure of an ultrasonography (US) probe (0.5 and 1 kg). [Subjects] Thirteen subjects (11 males and 2 females; age, 23.1 ± 2.9 years) were recruited via convenience sampling of university students. [Methods] Real-time US measurements of the CSA and MT of the longus colli were recorded. Repeated US measurements using a standard protocol were performed on the same day 1 hour apart to assess intra- and inter-rater reliability. Intra-class correlation coefficients (ICC; 2, 1) were used to determine the intra- and inter-rater reliability of the CSA and MT measurements. [Results] This study demonstrated that the US measurements (0.5 and 1 kg) of the CSA and MT of the longus colli give reliable and consistent results. [Conclusion] Based on these results, a consistent inward pressure of the probe is needed to ensure precise US measurement of the longus colli muscle.
