Data given in mean and standard deviation in parentheses before and after the intervention (amplitudes in mV; integrals in mV*ms; SICI and ICF as their index; CSP in s).
MEP: motor evoked potential. ICF: intracortical facilitation. SICI: short intracortical inhibition. CSP: cortical silent period. SL: somatosensory learning. S: somatosensory.
