“Threshold” indicates stimulus intensity which represents motor threshold; CMCT, central motor conduction time; PMCT, peripheral motor conduction time; M wave, amplitude of the muscle potential obtained by electrical stimulation of ulnar nerve (A) or peroneal nerve (B); S-R-C, stimulus-response-curve, MEP amplitudes are presented as percentage of M wave amplitude; SP, silent period. *p<0.05.
