However, if subjects forcefully contracted the FDI of Hand-2, the FDI of Hand-1 also became activated [force: F (1.2,21.5) = 4.37, p = 0.04; RMS-EMG: F (1.3,23.1) = 5.20, p = 0.03, Figure 4 A; larger force in Hand-1 when ipsilateral hand contracted at 50% ( p = 0.02) and a trend toward significance at 70% of MVC ( p = 0.06); larger RMS-EMG in Hand-1 when the ipsilateral hand contracted at 70% of MVC ( p = 0.03)].
