2018, Gait and PostureCitation Excerpt :Determination of the CSP followed criteria described by Nilsson et al. in which a series of student’s t-tests were used to compare logarithmically-transformed EMG activity normalized to pre-stimulus activity to a 4-ms window in order to determine when t-tests were no longer significant, indicating EMG activity returned to pre-stimulus levels [25]. Cursors were placed on a plot and a trained investigator confirmed locations were accurate, extracting the time between the start of the MEP and resumption of normal activity as the CSP [26]. The ratio of Hmax to Mmax (Hmax:Mmax) was assessed using two-way analyses of variance (ANOVAs) for each muscle with two within-subjects factors (Device, 3 levels; Time, 2 levels).
