A Overall data on resting motor threshold in healthy subjects and stroke patients. Negative values of laterality quotient are associated with a between-hemispheric imbalance towards the contralesional (dominant) hemisphere, positive values with a between-hemispheric imbalance towards the lesioned (non-dominant) hemisphere; B Resting motor threshold in stoke patients in comparison to healthy controls (only for studies which included healthy control group). Positive values re associated with a higher, negative values with a lower resting motor threshold in stroke patients (in comparison to healthy controls); C Longitudinal changes of rMT in stroke patients. Positive values are associated with an increase, negative values with a decrease of resting motor threshold over time. Notes: BL = baseline; RMT/rMT = resting motor threshold; SO = stimulator output; 1 FU = first follow-up; 2 FU = second follow-up
