Highlighted claims

• The trial assesses central neuroplasticity mainly with TMS measures of corticospinal tract excitability and integrity. — Central and peripheral neuroplasticity in cervical spinal cord injury following intensive upper limb motor training: a randomised controlled trial protocol
• The primary central endpoint is resting motor threshold at a 200 microvolt target motor-evoked potential. — Central and peripheral neuroplasticity in cervical spinal cord injury following intensive upper limb motor training: a randomised controlled trial protocol
• Motor threshold is treated as a direct measure of corticomotor excitability. — Central and peripheral neuroplasticity in cervical spinal cord injury following intensive upper limb motor training: a randomised controlled trial protocol
• TMS is described as an established method for assessing corticospinal tract neuroplasticity through motor-evoked potentials. — Central and peripheral neuroplasticity in cervical spinal cord injury following intensive upper limb motor training: a randomised controlled trial protocol
• No randomized controlled trials had tested intensive upper limb motor training on cortical excitability in sub-acute cervical spinal cord injury. — Central and peripheral neuroplasticity in cervical spinal cord injury following intensive upper limb motor training: a randomised controlled trial protocol
