## Abstract Bilateral highβfrequency stimulation of the internal globus pallidus (GPi) and the subthalamic nucleus (STN) both alleviate akinesia, rigidity, and tremor in idiopathic Parkinson's disease. To test the specific effect of these procedures on gait, we used quantitative gait analysis in ad

## Abstract Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an effective treatment for selected patients with disabling Parkinson's disease (PD). The two main targets are the subthalamic nucleus (STN) and the globus pallidus internus (GPi), although it has not been established whether stimulation at one target is
## Abstract We examined the effects of highβfrequency deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus (STNβDBS) on characteristics of electromyographic (EMG) activity of the agonist muscle in 8 patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Patients were examined during STNβDBS (ON), and 30 minutes afte
## Abstract We evaluated the longβterm effects of subthalamic nucleus (STN) stimulation on healthβrelated quality of life (HRQL) in patients with advanced Parkinson's disease (PD). STN stimulation improves motor function and decreases medication requirements in patients with advanced PD. The impact
