Abstract

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is the most common surgical treatment for patients with advanced Parkinson’s disease (PD). Following surgery, neurorehabilitation aims to help patients function properly in daily interactions and activities, and thus improve their quality of life. The neurorehabilitation process is overseen by a multidisciplinary team that includes a neurologist, physiotherapist, and speech therapist. The role of neurologist is to change the DBS device’s parameters as well as the pharmacological therapy. The role of the physiotherapist is to maintain and restore maximum functional mobility and ability, while the role of the speech therapist is to assist with speech issues on which DBS can have a significant impact.
