Objectives.
(a) To determine associations among motor evoked potential (MEP) amplitude, MEP latency, lower extremity (LE) impairment, and gait velocity and (b) determine the association between the presence of a detectable MEP signal with LE impairment and with gait velocity.
Method.
35 subjects with chronic, stable LE hemiparesis were undergone TMS, the LE section of the Fugl-Meyer Impairment Scale (LE FM), and 10-meter walk test.
We recorded presence, amplitude, and latency of MEPs in the affected tibialis anterior (TA) and soleus (SO).
Results.
MEP presence was associated with higher LEFM scores in both the TA and SO.
MEP latency was larger in subjects with lower LEFM and difficulty walking.
Conclusion.
MEP latency appears to be an indicator of LE impairment and gait.
Significance.
Our results support the precept of using TMS, particularly MEP latency, as an adjunctive LE outcome measurement and prognostic technique.
