| Stimulation Target | Stroke | Control | Mann–Whitney U Test | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Arm | Muscle Union | Mean ± SE | p (A) | |
| Nondominant (Affected/left) |
ECU-ED | 14.7 ± 1.1 | 12.1 ± 0.7 | 0.057 (0.72) |
| FCR-FD | 12.8 ± 0.7 | 10.5 ± 0.5 | 0.016 * (0.75) | |
| Wilcoxon signed-rank test—p (r) | 0.119 (0.40) | 0.087 (0.44) | ||
| Dominant (Unaffected/right) |
ECU-ED | 10.9 ± 0.3 | 12.4 ± 0.7 | 0.413 (0.59) |
| FCR-FD | 8.7 ± 0.4 | 9.3 ± 0.4 | 0.486 (0.58) | |
| Wilcoxon signed-rank test—p (r) | 0.002 ▲▲ (0.81) | 0.004 ▲▲ (0.74) | ||
| Wilcoxon signed-rank test on arms—p (r) | 0.000 ### (0.76) | 0.246 (0.21) | - | |
The significant differences are indicated by * (p < 0.05) for Mann–Whitney U test, ▲▲ (p < 0.01) for Wilcoxon signed-rank test, and ### (p < 0.001) for Wilcoxon signed-rank test on arms.
