Table 3. Final iTBS regression model.
B-values for continuous IVs show the amount of increase in normalised MEP, for a one unit increase in the IV, after adjusting for all other variables in the model. i.e. a 1 unit increase in age (i.e. 1 year) resulted in a 0.18% reduction in iTBS-induced facilitation. For categorical IVs, the B-value shows the difference between the IV levels in normalised MEP. e.g. the APB muscle demonstrated 16.41% less iTBS-induced facilitation than the FDI muscle (see Figure 5 for all IV levels). Bold denotes significance (p < 0.05). Participants = 265; studies = 12.
