Summary

This study looks at how deep brain stimulation (DBS) affects walking and movement in people with Parkinson's disease who already have a Medtronic Percept DBS device. Researchers will measure brain signals and walking patterns in the lab and at home over several weeks. The goal is to understand why some movement problems don't improve with standard treatments. About 36 adults with Parkinson's who have had DBS for at least three months will take part.
