Corticospinal excitability is subject to alterations after stroke. While the reversal of these
alterations has been proposed as an underlying mechanism for improved walking capacity …

Given the importance of determining intervention-induced neuroplastic changes with lower
extremity functional tasks, a reliable transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) methodology …

Mapping the lower extremity with navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation (nTMS) still
remains challenging for the investigator. Clinical factors influencing leg mapping with nTMS …

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a noninvasive neurophysiologic technique that
can stimulate the human brain. Positioning of the coil was often performed based merely on …

Following stroke, hyperexcitable sensory pathways, such as the group III/IV afferents that are
sensitive to ischemia, may inhibit paretic motor neurons during exercise. We quantified the …

Background Gait deficits are very common after stroke and therefore an important aspect in
poststroke rehabilitation. A currently little used method in gait rehabilitation after stroke is the …

We quantified the relationship between the change in post-contraction blood flow with motor
unit firing rates and metrics of fatigue during intermittent, sub-maximal fatiguing contractions …

Background and Purpose—Transcranial magnetic stimulation is used to measure the
functional integrity of the corticomotor system via motor evoked potentials (MEPs) in stroke …

Background Stimulus response curves (SR curves), measured using transcranial magnetic
stimulation (TMS) induced motor evoked potentials (MEP), yield important information …

Objectives.(a) To determine associations among motor evoked potential (MEP) amplitude,
MEP latency, lower extremity (LE) impairment, and gait velocity and (b) determine the …
