Summary

This study tests a personalized approach to brain stimulation (rTMS) for people with Parkinson's disease. The goal is to see if tailoring the stimulation to each patient's brain function improves walking better than the standard one-size-fits-all method. The study will involve 60 participants who can walk without a cane or walker.
