  1. NIHSS National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale, mRS Modified Rankin Scale, MRC Medical Research Council scale of the extensor carpi radialis (ECR) muscle strength, FMA-UE Fugl-Meyer Assessment - Upper Extremity, ARAT Action Research Arm Test, d Days, w Weeks. The individual electrophysiologic measurements using transcranial magnetic stimulation were recorded from the affected/unaffected ECR, including rMT: resting motor threshold (% of maximum stimulator output); MEP Motor evoked potential, iSP Ipsilateral silent period, SICI Short-interval intracortical inhibition. NA Not accessible (recordable), M Male, F Female, R Right hemisphere, L Left hemisphere. The group values represent the median (interquartile range)
