Interhemispheric inhibition and gait adaptation associations in people with multiple sclerosis.

The lack of differences between the more affected and less affected hemisphere indicates that PwMS have similar interhemispheric inhibitory capacity irrespective of the more affected hemisphere. Additionally, we identified a moderate correlation between reduced interhemispheric inhibition and greater gait adaptability. These findings may indicate that interhemispheric inhibition may in part influence responsiveness to motor adaptation paradigms and the need for further research evaluating the neural mechanisms underlying the relationship between interhemispheric inhibition and motor adaptability.
