This #WorldParkinsonsDay, we’re joining 80 partners to introduce The Spark, the global symbol for Parkinson’s Awareness. Together, we're speaking out to end the world’s fastest-growing neurological disease. Learn more and share your Spark today: worldparkinsonsday.com#thespark
New paper from the lab! Higher interhemispheric STN beta coherence correlates with worsening bradykinesia and disease progression, unlike local STN beta dynamics. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…@Stanford_Neuro
The Human Motor Control and Neuromodulation Lab under Dr. Bronte-Stewart @HBSlab is seeking a neural engineering postdoctoral scholar to investigate neural closed loop deep brain stimulation in Parkinson’s disease. Learn more and apply: med.stanford.edu/bronte-stew…
96 individuals with Parkinson's Disease performed a 30 second QDG-RAFT task to reliably track disease progression and cardinal motor symptoms, including rigidity. Learn more here! pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3569…@Stanford_Neuro
Detecting #freezingofgait outside the clinic has become imperative for tracking disease progression in PD. Watch this great presentation on the minimal set of wearable IMUs needed to objectively detect FOG with high clinical utility! drive.google.com/file/d/1egF…
In fact, a single IMU on the ankle performed within 4% of the top performing 3 IMU set. Both the lumbar and ankle IMUs were rated highly wearable by patients. Check out the open source data and software at: github.com/stanfordnmbl/imu-…
This analysis shows that raw IMU data can provide valuable information to help physicians track and manage patient disease progression. Big thanks to @mrlee543 @SeagersKirsten@johanping@kidzik and @StanfordNMBL for this great work!
New publication from the lab! While the sequence effect worsens over time in repeat visits with disease progression, it improves in response to open and closed-loop STN stimulation. medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
My favorite thing about science? The magic of working together. With 3 co-first authors and 2 co-last authors, this impactful work is elevated by many perspectives (patients, engineers, clinicians, statisticians). Science is human. rdcu.be/cGWIY
Grateful for our team.
