Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Fine motor tasks - Number of pins positioned correctly in the four parts of the mPPT (i.e. task performance with the left hand, right hand, simultaneously with left and right hand, and an assembly task in which the left and right hand alternate) - Score on the resopal-drilling plate (max score 19 points; see appendix K6). TMS - Amplitude of the MEP and MEP recruitment curve; short intracortical inhibition (SICI)	—
