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.
