Short-term immobilization influences use-dependent cortical plasticity and fine motor performance

Highlights • 8 h of immobilization reduced motor cortical excitability but not intracortical inhibition. • Performance on a novel motor training task was reduced after immobilization. • Use-dependent cortical plasticity with training was increased after immobilization.
