Summary

This study looks at 60 people who already have a deep brain stimulation (DBS) device for movement problems like tremor, stroke, or brain injury. Researchers will adjust the device's settings and then test how well participants can move their hands, speak, swallow, and control facial muscles. The goal is to find the best stimulation settings to improve these functions.
