APPARATUS FOR TREATING MOVEMENT DISORDERS BY CLOSED LOOP BRAIN STIMULATION

摘要

Techniques for stimulating the brain (B) to treat movement disorders resulting in abnormal motor behavior by means of an implantable signal generator (10) and electrode (115). A sensor (130) is used to detect the symptoms resulting from the motion disorders. A microprocessor algorithm anaylzes the output from the sensor in order to regulate the stimulation delivered to the brain.
