Summary
This study aims to improve walking and balance in 60 people with Parkinson's disease who already have a brain implant (deep brain stimulation). Researchers will use MRI and CT scans to create a computer model of each patient's brain and then find the best stimulation settings to target specific pathways. The goal is to see if these personalized settings can improve gait and balance more than standard settings.
