The effect of pedunculopontine nucleus deep brain stimulation on postural sway and vestibular perception

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the pedunculopontine nucleus (PPN) reduces the number of falls in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). It was hypothesized that enhanced sensory processing contributes to this PPN‐mediated gait improvement. METHODS: Four PD patients (an...
