Power was assessed using the MRC score (0 = no movement, 5 = normal power) and is reported for finger movements which were the weakest upper limb movements. Tone was assessed using the Ashworth Score (0 = normal tone, 4 = fixed flexion). Overall function was assessed using the Modified Rankin Score (MRS; 0 = asymptomatic, 5 = bedridden). TEh 90–100 = the threshold change on the affected side after 90–100 ms of hyperpolarizing current expressed as a percentage of the threshold change for the unaffected side.
