Abstract

Patients with a complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) in the upper limb show a sensory and motor impairment of the hand. Decreased intra-cortical-inhibition (ICI) of the motor representation of the affected hand muscle and decreased somatosensory hand representation size were related to maladaptive plasticity.
