TA MEP values in participants with chronic incomplete SCI in whom conditioning was successful

	F Value	C1–6	C7–12	C13–18	C19–24
Conditioned MEP, %baseline	F(4,32) = 12.1	127.6 ± 7.8*	133.0 ± 3.9*	130.3 ± 4.7*	144.7 ± 5.0*
Control MEP, %baseline	F(4,32) = 2.7	113.3 ± 2.6	110.7 ± 4.3	112.1 ± 4.3	123.5 ± 6.7*
Within-session change, %baseline	F(4,32) = 4.5	14.4 ± 6.6	22.2 ± 5.2*	18.3 ± 4.3*	21.2 ± 4.3*

Values are group means ± SE expressed as percentages of baseline tibialis anterior (TA) motor evoked potential (MEP). C1–6, C7–12, C13–18, and C19–24 are conditioning (or control) sessions 1–6, 7–12, 13–18, and 19–24, respectively. SCI, spinal cord injury.

^*P < 0.05, significant difference from the 6 baseline sessions (Dunnett’s post hoc after one-way repeated-measures ANOVA).
