This is the first study to perform 4-limb cortical motor mapping in pwMS using a dedicated nTMS procedure. By quantifying the cortical surface representation of a given muscle and the variability of MEP within this representation, nTMS can provide new biomarkers of motor function impairment in pwMS. Our study opens perspectives for the use of nTMS as an objective method for assessing pwMS disability in clinical practice.
