Chronic Subthalamic Nucleus Stimulation in Parkinson's Disease: Optimal Frequency for Gait Depends on Stimulation Site and Axial Symptoms

Chronic Subthalamic Nucleus Stimulation in Parkinson's Disease: Optimal Frequency for Gait Depends on Stimulation Site and Axial Symptoms

Axial symptoms emerge in a significant proportion of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) within 5 years of deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS). Lowering the stimulation frequency may reduce these symptoms. The objectives of the current study were to establish the relationship between gait perfo...
