Experimental: Parkinson's disease with DBS
Participants will have a diagnosis of idiopathic PD and have undergone/will undergo neurosurgery to implant deep brain stimulators in the globus pallidus (GP DBS) or subthalamic nucleus (STN)
|
Device: Deep Brain Stimulation
Pallidal Deep Brain Stimulation |
- Changes in the combined elastic, viscous and inertial resistance across conditions will be assessed by integrating the resistive torque [ Time Frame: 3 weeks ]Average movement rate and amplitude for each tone rate-movement amplitude interval. The amount of variability in angular displacement and velocity will be calculated using the root mean square of the zero mean signal. The structure of the variability will be calculated using the sample entropy function. In addition, we will quantify the number and duration of movement festination or freezing episodes.
