Alternating deep-brain-stimulation for treatment of gait disturbances

Image from Licence Details: Alternating deep-brain-stimulation for treatment of gait disturbances

Applications: Deep-brain-stimulation, Neurostimulation, Neuromodulation, Parkinson’s disease treatment

Features Benefits
  • Rhythmic stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus, a region targeted to alleviate Parkinson’s disease symptoms.
  • Avoids the need for continuous stimulation which often worsens Parkinson’s disease related gait impairments.
  • Stimulation rhythm is tailored to the individual stepping rhythm of the patient.
  • Personalised care reinforces the patient’s individual, normal stepping cycle.
  • Demonstrable change in stepping pattern in line with the alternating stimulation observed in a preliminary study of Parkinson’s Disease patients.
  • Preliminary clinical study suggests efficacy of the stimulation pattern and location to improve gait in Parkinson’s patients.
  • Stimulation method and protocol, not tied to a specific device.
  • Easily implemented in any commercially available DBS systems.
