Group 1: Patients with DBS systems present to the clinic at regular intervals as part of routine clinical practice for fine-tuning of their settings. On one such visit, two additional examinations are
it is recorded whether the patient correctly identifies sensations).
Second, after this brief calibration session, the patient will perform study-specific gait tests. Three gait tests are performed,
