Summary

This study tests a new way to fine-tune deep brain stimulation (DBS) settings for people with Parkinson's disease who already have a DBS device. Researchers use each patient's brain scans to create a computer model and then find the best stimulation settings to improve walking and balance. Sixty participants will walk on a treadmill and take part in balance tests to see if the optimized settings help.
