RESEARCH AND CLINICAL INTERESTS
DBS Surgery for Parkinson's disease and tremor
This video shows a patient being tested by Dr Dalvi during DBS surgery at different setting with the final setting allowing for excellent tremor control.
Video shows patient with DBS undergoing adjustments for freezing of gait. Gait improves with DBS on and improves further on optimum DBS settings so the patient is able to walk without assitance.
