X-axis shows time that motor evoked potentials were recorded, and Y-axis provides motor evoked potentials normalized to baseline (values > 1 indicate facilitation of motor evoked potentials by iTBS). Error bars are shown as shaded regions (SEM). The exercise condition appeared to promote a stronger facilitation of motor evoked potentials following iTBS. Abbreviations: iTBS, intermittent theta burst stimulation.There was a non-significant trend for the interaction between Time*Group*Time Since Stroke (FExploration of the effect of time since stroke on modifying iTBS response following exercise. Top figures show grand average iTBS responses on the Y-axis (values > 1 indicate facilitation of motor evoked potentials by iTBS) and time since stroke on the X-axis for exercise and control groups respectively.
