Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess how alternating-frequency Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) works to improve postural instability and gait, while also treating other motor symptoms of Parkinson Disease (PD).

Primary Outcome

Marker of gait instability, derived from kinematic recordings from body-worn wireless sensors.
