Values are mean percent changes based on individually computed changes
MP motor practice, SES somatosensory electrical stimulation, CSE corticospinal excitability, SICI short-interval intracortical inhibition (positive change denote decreases in inhibition), ICF intracortical facilitation, IHI interhemispheric inhibition (positive change denote reductions in inhibition), CLF contralateral facilitation
