Measure
Condition
n=23 Participants
1. Rest PCMS: PCMS was administered with the targeted hand muscles at rest. 2. Sham: Peripheral nerve stimulation was administered and the stimulating coil discharged when subjects achieved a criterion level of force stability during task repetition. The stimulating coil was rotated to prevent activation of the brain, thus, preventing PCMS. 3. Active PCMS: PCMS was administered when subjects achieved a criterion level of force stability during task repetition.
