Here is a list of objectives and references:

Learning objectives for the meeting:

By the end of the presentation, listeners will:

  1. Understand what deep brain stimulation is and how the system is implanted
  2. Be able to identify which patients with Parkinson’s Disease are appropriate for DBS
  3. Understand the role of OT in treating patients who have DBS or who may be eligible for DBS
  4. Learn how Adaptive DBS can help patients with PD regain more “on-time” with good symptom control
  5. Understand expectations for DBS from a therapy perspective
