Table 2.
MT measured at the beginning of each experiment (nonselective and selective task) and intensities of TMS test pulses used in normal and dystonic subjects for measurement of SICI.
| Non-selective task | Selective task | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| normal | dystonic | normal | dystonic | |
| MT (APB) | 53.6 ± 10.6 | 47.9 ± 9.3 | 53.7 ± 9.9 | 46.9 ± 8.8 |
| Stimulus intensity (APB) | 63.7 ± 11.4 | 59.7 ± 13.7 | 62.1 ± 11.9 | 59.3 ± 12.1 |
| MT (4DIO) | 51.2 ± 11.6 | 45.3 ± 8.8 | 53.0 ± 10.1 | 45.9 ± 9.2 |
| Stimulus intensity (4DIO) | 61.7 ± 11.1 | 58.6 ± 10.8 | 62.4 ± 11.5 | 61.0 ± 11.9 |
Stimulus intensities of test pulses and motor thresholds are expressed as percentage of maximal stimulator output (mean ± SD). MT (APB) and MT (4DIO) are the motor thresholds of abductor pollicis brevis and fourth dorsal interosseus muscle.
