Fig 1 Representative electromyograms from (A) a control subject, (B) a subject with chronic stroke, and (C) a subject with subacute stroke showing side-to-side differences in silent-period duration (vertical dashed lines) and active MEP amplitudes. Note different scaling. Abbreviations: L, left; NP, nonparetic; P, paretic; R, right.

Fig 2 Scatterplots showing the relations between tapping ability and neurophysiologic measures of (A) motor threshold, (B) MEP amplitude, (C) MEP latency, and (D) silent period duration. The linear regression line and 95% confidence bands based on all data are shown.
