Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Motor learning: Accuracy on the motor task. Motor maps: The area, volume, and centre of gravity of the muscle cortical representations for the MD and the BR muscles. Potential change will serve as a measure of cortical plasticity after motor learning. MEP-amplitude ratio: Measure for brain excitability. The height of the MEP amplitudes will be measured at a constant stimulation intensity. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Muscle synergies: The extent to which the motor maps overlap. Intermanual transfer: Potential change in the motor maps of the hemisphere that is not undergoing the intervention. | — |
