  2. Case Report • 76 year old man • 10 year history of PD with intractable dyskinesias in upper extremities • Declined DBS

  3. Stimulation Demonstration #1

  4. Two 8-electrode Epidural Leads RestoreULTRA Generator (Medtronic Inc.)

  5. Stimulator Parameters: • Pulse width 210 microseconds • Frequency 20 Hz • Amplitude use ranged from 0.5-0.6 volts at sub-threshold level • Electrode polarities: First lead 0(off) 1(+) 2(-) 3(+) 4 (-) 5(+) 6(off) 7(off) Second lead 8(off) 9(off) 10(+) 11(-) 12(+) 13(-) 14(+) 15(0ff)
