A Meta-Regression of the Long-Term Effects of Deep Brain Stimulation on Balance and Gait in PD
Neurol 75:1292-1299, St. George,R.J.,et al, 2010
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
DBS alone does not offer the same improvement to PIGD as it does to the cardinal symptoms, suggesting axial and distal control are differentially affected by DBS. GPi DBS in combination with levopoda seemed to preserve PIGD better than did STN DBS, although more studies of GPi DBS and randomized controls are needed.
