- •
We found a significant effect of pedaling on short-interval intracortical inhibition.
- •
This effect did not interact with the experimental condition (active vs. passive).
- •
We found no significant effect of pedaling on intracortical facilitation.
- •
Also passive cycling may be beneficial in activating motor cortex after SCI.
- •
Passive exercise therapies could promote cortical neuroplastic reorganization.
