Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a powerful treatment option for individuals living with Parkinson’s disease. However, its effects on functional outcomes and the critical role of rehabilitation professionals in optimizing these outcomes across the care continuum are not always fully understood or integrated into clinical practice. In this webinar, neurologist Dr. Todd Herrington, Director of the DBS program at Massachusetts General Hospital, will explain how DBS affects mobility, speech, cognition, and quality of life, while highlighting the importance of interdisciplinary coordination across PT, OT, SLP, and neurology. Learn practical strategies for managing motor and non-motor symptoms, and how to collaborate effectively with neurologists. Empower your clinical practice with knowledge to optimize patient outcomes throughout the DBS journey.

Intended Audience: Physical, occupational, and speech therapy professionals and students

Featured Speaker: Todd Herrington, MD, PhD Director, Deep Brain Stimulation, Massachusetts General Hospital
