Brief Summary

Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) has been suggested by several research for treating PD gait disturbance. However, the side effects induced by body position change cannot fully addressed by conventional SCS. Medtronic sensor-driven position-adaptive SCS are capable to monitor the position change and change the parameters accordingly, so as to reduce the position change related side effects. Nevertheless, neither the efficacy nor safety of this technique in the treatment of gait disturbance in PD is ever investigated. Therefore, the investigators will conduct a randomized clinical trial to investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of sensor-driven position-adaptive SCS in the treatment of gait disturbance in PD. This study will contribute to find out the safety and efficacy of sensor-driven position-adaptive SCS in the treatment of PD gait disorder, improve patients' quality of life, and reduce the burden on family and society.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

  • 6-min walk test during the first week (6MWT-1W)

    The 6-min walk test is a test walking over a span of 6 minutes. Gait characters are recorded for further analysis.

    1 week follow-up

  • timed up-and-go task during the first week (TUG-1W)

    The Timed Up and Go (TUG) test is a performance-based measure of functional mobility that was initially developed to identify mobility and balance impairments in older adults. Gait characters are recorded for further analysis.

    1 week follow-up

  • 6-min walk test during the second week (6MWT-2W)

    The 6-min walk test is a test walking over a span of 6 minutes. Gait characters are recorded for further analysis.

    2 week follow-up

  • timed up-and-go task during the second week (TUG-2W)

    The 6-min walk test is a test walking over a span of 6 minutes. Gait characters are recorded for further analysis.

    2 week follow-up

Secondary Outcomes (5)

  • EuroQol 5-Dimension, 5-Level Health Scale(EQ-5D-5L)

    1 and 2 week follow-up

  • Gait and Fall Questionnaire(GFQ)

    1 and 2 week follow-up

  • Modified Fall Efficacy Scale(MFES)

    1 and 2 week follow-up

  • Activities-specific Balance Confidence (ABC) scale

    1 and 2 week follow-up

  • Survey of Activities and Fear of Falling in the Elderly (SAFFE )

    1 and 2 week follow-up
