Differential corticomotor mechanisms of ankle motor control in post stroke individuals with and without motor evoked potentials.

CONCLUSION: Our results indicate that CMEsym between the ipsilesional and contralesional hemispheres does not necessarily translate to better paretic ankle motor control in chronic stroke. Presence or absence of a MEP in the TA muscle did not affect the ankle tracking performance, however, it was noted that different strategies maybe used by those with and without a MEP.
