Gait and balance issues
The thing that I have read is that there is now DBS being done that targets an additional part of the brain. Standard DBS targets Subthalamic Nucleus (STN) area of the brain. This apparently does relatively little for gait and balance. A new approach targets STN and pedunculopontine nucleus (PPN) and appears to benefit gait and balance. Is anyone familiar with this approach?
Thanks for the replies so far,
Simon
