Participant demographic information and individual responses to iTBS are shown.
M, male; F, female; C, cervical spine (i.e., C4); iTBS, intermittent theta burst stimulation; M1, primary motor cortex; S1, primary somatosensory cortex; ASIA, American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale (A = no sensory or motor function preserved in sacral segments; B = sensory function is preserved with no motor function; C = sensory function is preserved below the level of injury, most muscles below injury have a grade less than 3; D = motor function is preserved below the level of injury, most muscles below injury have a grade of 3 or more; E = normal sensory and motor function); RMT, resting motor threshold; MEP, motor-evoked potential; ↑, measure is increased following iTBS relative to sham effect (percentage of change exceeding sham effects); ↓, measure is decreased following iTBS relative to sham effect (percentage of change exceeding sham effects); N/A, data could not be obtained.
