FDI: first dorsal interosseous; ID: participant identifier; ms: milliseconds; NA: not assessed at baseline; NC: not calculated due to missing baseline data; RMT: resting motor threshold; ∆: change; †: missing data; % MSO: percentage of maximum stimulator output. Motor mapping testing intensity was 110% RMT (resting motor threshold). MEP latency durations are reported using the mean time (ms). Bolded values are considered significant defined as ≥20% mapping response sites.
