Summary
This study aims to understand why some people with Parkinson's disease experience freezing of gait—a sudden inability to move their feet. Researchers will use special brain recordings from implanted DBS devices to compare brain activity in people with and without freezing. The goal is to identify the brain signals involved, which could lead to better treatments. About 36 adults with Parkinson's who already have a Medtronic Percept DBS device will participate.
