Abstract Summary
The aim of the study was to investigate effects of bilateral subthalamic deep brain stimulation (DBS) on lower limb kinematics during sit-to-stand (STS) in patients with advanced Parkinson's disease (PD). Each patient performed STS in a standard gait lab and kinematic analysis were conducted. Results showed that DBS reduced duration and altered joint angles of the lower limb joints of STS. Results indicate that bilateral subthalamic DBS has a potential to improve STS movement in patients with advanced PD.
