Eligibility criteria
Inclusion
Patients meeting the MDS clinical diagnostic criteria for Parkinson's disease who are implanted with a Medtronic Percept DBS Device and SenSight Directional Leads in bilateral globus pallidus internus (GPi).
Able to walk unassisted indoors
Age 18 or older
Half of patients will have disabling freezing of gait as defined by freezing more than once per day by self-report on questions 1 \& 2 of the New Freezing of Gait Questionnaire
The other half of patients will not have freezing of gait as defined by self-report on question 1 of the New Freezing of Gait Questionnaire
Exclusion
Clinical diagnosis of dementia or severe cognitive impairment (MOCA \< 21)
History of stroke, traumatic brain injury, or other neurologic disorders besides Parkinson's disease
Comorbidities causing severe gait impairments
Unstable medical condition including cardio-vascular instability in the past 6 months
Unable or unwilling to comply with the testing protocol
What this trial measures
- GPi gait-related spectral powerDay 1
Globus pallidus internus (GPi) spectral power change during walking versus standing rest.
- GPi event-related spectral powerDay 2
Globus pallidus internus (GPi) spectral power changes from baseline time-locked to gait cycle events, freezing episodes, and voluntary stopping events
- GPi gait-related spectral powerDay 3
Globus pallidus internus (GPi) spectral power change during walking with versus without external cues.
