For this study, a DBS Lead will be surgically implanted in the back part of your brain (cerebellum) on the opposite side from where your stroke occurred. The DBS Lead is anchored in place using a Burr Hole Cover. The DBS Lead is connected to an Extension that is tunneled under your skin. The Extension is connected to a Neurostimulator that will be implanted under the skin near your collarbone.

Participants will be required to come for several Study Visits, which will include imaging, assessment, surgery, programming and rehabilitation therapy

There will be:

  • About 11 Study Visits to complete assessments, exams, and imaging
  • About 6 Study Visits to program the DBS device
