Figure 7. Maximum voluntary contraction (MVC).

Figure 7.

(A) Representative EMG traces recorded during MVC (measured as the highest mean rectified EMG activity found in 1 s during the MVC burst) in a participant with SCI before and after PCMS+sham-AIH (red traces) and PCMS+AIH (black traces). (B) Graph shows the group data (n=10). The abscissa shows the protocols tested (PCMS+sham-AIH=red bars and PCMS+AIH=black bars) and the ordinate shows the mean EMG activity expressed as % of baseline during MVC. (C) Graph shows individual data (AIS A=triangle, AIS C=square, and AIS D=circle). The ordinate shows the magnitude change in MVC after 30 min of PCMS+sham-AIH (red circles) and PCMS+AIH (black circles). The dotted line indicates the baseline. Error bars indicate SDs. *p<0.05, comparison with baseline.
