Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: The patient had pre-existing muscle weakness in the AH or TA muscles
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The main study parameters are mTc-MEP motor thresholds, amplitudes, and AUC of the tibialis anterior (TA) and abductor hallucis (AH) muscles, associated with different ISI stimulations (1, 2, 3 and 4 ms). | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. Variability will be based on peak-to-peak amplitudes 2. Optimal ISI for the 2 different stimulators will be determined based on the primary outcome variables. 3. Time and amplitudes will be used to answer this research question. | — |
