Effect of Subthalamic Nucleus Deep Brain Stimulation (STN-DBS) on balance performance in Parkinson's disease.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To study the effect of STN-DBS on balance performance of Parkinson's disease.

Method

16 idiopathic PD patients treated with bilateral STN-DBS (DBS Group) and 20 PD patients treated with Levodopa (Medicine group) were included in the study. Clinical material including Levodopa Equivalent Daily Dose (LEDD, mg/day), life quality (PDQ-39) were collected. For DBS group and Medicine group, The motor disability (Movement Disorder Society-Sponsored Revision of the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale Ⅲ, MDS-UPDRSIII) and balance performance (MDS-UPDRS 3.12, Berg Balance Scale BBS) and the Limits of Stability (LoS) (target acquisition percentage, trunk swing angle standard deviation, time) in state of Med-Off/Med-On at preoperation, postoperation, 6 months postoperation a
