## Resource

Ever wondered if physical therapy really helps after deep brain stimulation for Parkinson's? Let's dive in with Kay Mayordomo, PT, DPT. In this episode, we explore a randomized pilot study on deep brain stimulation (DBS) and its impact on patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). While DBS can help with tremors, rigidity, and bradykinesia, many still struggle with balance and gait issues post-surgery. What does the research say about PT after deep brain stimulation? #ParkinsonsDisease #DeepBrainStimulation #PhysicalTherapy Want to make sure you stay on top of all things geriatrics?
