Researchers at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) have developed a novel deep brain stimulation system that can 'read' the gait of Parkinson's patients in real time and adjust the stimulation intensity, helping to improve gait and reduce falls. The latest study, published in Nature Medicine, confirms for the first time that implantable brain stimulators can detect neural signals related to gait and automatically adjust within an extremely short timeframe. This achievement provides a new personalized neuromodulation solution for improving walking impairments in Parkinson's patients.
