Differential Effects of Levodopa and Stimulation on Post‐Surgery Freezing of Gait in Subthalamic Nucleus Deep Brain Stimulation Parkinson's Disease Patients: A Clinical and Kinematic Analysis

The long‐term efficacy of high‐frequency subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN‐DBS) on freezing of gait (FOG) remains unclear. We aimed to study the mechanism and optimal therapeutic approach to long‐term post‐surgery FOG.
