Default the PPN.....

is an experiemental target. You would have to get an approval from your insurance company, which would be "problematic". it would also require an extra IPG. Figure on $50-80K to get it done.

I would see wwhat a regular bi-lateral DBS-STN would do for you. I think you will find it will help your postural instability. The closest recommendable program is at U of F, at Shands.There is a program in Orlando, but I do not have any info on it.
