UPDRS total motor score (upper panel) and axial score (sum of UPDRS‐III subitems for speech, arising from a chair, posture, gait, and postural stability; lower panel) of the 5 GPi DBS patients receiving LFS. All evaluations were performed on l‐dopa at T0 (preop), T1 (postop, with conventional HFS), and T2 (postop with LFS). Black lines illustrate the 2 patients improving with LFS, whereas gray lines illustrate the 3 patients not reporting any substantial benefit.
