Abstract: Muscle architecture parameters performed using ultrasound serve as an aid to monitor muscle changes derived from diseases, however there are no studies that determine the reliability and applicability of this evaluation in individuals with type 2 diabetes (DM2). Three raters captured three images of measurements of thickness of the rectus femoris (RF), vastus intermedius and anterior quadriceps, RF muscle cross-sectional area, RF pennation angle in 17 individuals with DM2 above 50 and sedentary. Intra and inter-raters analysis showed reliability from high to very high for the three raters (ICC> 0.87), except for the RF pennation angle with moderate to low intra-raters (ICC = 0.58, 0.48, 0.51), and high inter-rater reliability (ICC = 0.70). Ultrasound measurements of quadriceps muscles showed high to very high intra and inter-raters reliability, thus allowing its use to monitor muscle changes provoked by diabetes or interventions in individuals with DM2.
