Figure 6. Spinal inhibition and motor function .

The magnitude of I1_max is plotted against FMS_TOTAL (left panel) and GMFCS (right panel) in the CP group (n = 17). The box plot in the middle panel illustrates the median (thick black line), 25th and 75th percentiles (box bounds), and 95th and 5th percentiles (whiskers) of I1_max in the NI group. The scatter of all data points for the NI group (n = 14) is also displayed over the box plot. FMS_TOTAL = total Functional Mobility Scale, GFMCS = Gross Motor Functional Classification System, I1_max = maximal amount of EMG suppression within the first inhibitory response.
