Group means (SD) or counts are given for each variable. No variable differed significantly between groups. M, male; F, female; L, left; R, right; C, cortical; S,subcortical; Muscle response Y/N refers to whether an observable muscle twitch from the affected hand could be evoked (Y) or not (N) after transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) of the ipsilesional motor cortex.
