Recruiting
We are conducting this research to try to find a better way of treating Parkinson's disease, specifically postural instability and gait disturbances (PIGD) by looking at certain brain characteristics using 3T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI.) We think we could discover how to make DBS more effective for such things as postural gait instability and other symptoms of PD. Participants will be asked to come to our research location, walk on a treadmill, and have a 3T MRI.
