Abstract

Our results prompt consideration of a new strategy for two-stage subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS) frequency optimization, with stimulation at 130 Hz and the usual voltage during the initial years of STN-DBS and then at 60 Hz at a high voltage in Parkinson disease patients who develop severe gait disorders.
