The mean, minimum, and maximum records for -waves (= , in milliseconds) obtained (number of -waves: ) in ADM (A: abductor digiti minimi) and TA (T: tibialis anterior) muscles after 8–20 stimuli (number of stimuli: STIM) given to each nerve site.
The minimum latency of each F-wave was measured. ND: nondominant hemispheric site, DO: dominant hemispheric site, CTRL: control, SCH: subject with schizophrenia, MDL: motor distal latency.
