Subthalamic stimulation may inhibit the beneficial effects of levodopa on akinesia and gait

Gait and akinesia deterioration in PD patients during the immediate postoperative period of DBS has been directly related to stimulation in the subthalamic region. The underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. The aim of the present study was to clinically and anatomically describe this side effect.
