Summary
This study tested a new type of brain stimulation for 12 people with Parkinson's disease who experience freezing of gait—a sudden inability to move their feet while walking. Instead of delivering constant stimulation, the device adapts in real-time based on the person's brain signals and movement. The goal was to see if this smarter system is safe and can improve walking without worsening other symptoms.
