Rehabilitation of Movement Disorders Based On Non-Invasive DBS

Non-invasive Deep Brain stimulation (DBS) is an effective method for treating the movement disorders such as Parkinson’s disease, essential tremor, dystonia, etc. Currently there are many treatments available for treating movement disorders but it may cause many side effects such as memory loss, occurrence of stroke and nerve problems. To overcome those side effects and minimizing the neurosurgical intervention of human, a non-invasive method is proposed for stimulating the deep brain. In this technique, minimum number of nerves which are co-related with hands and legs has been identified for stimulating the deep brain by using dual tree complex wavelet transform (DTCWT). By performing this segmentation process, the region affected by movement disorders are identified and the stimulation process is done by providing a force feed-back signal according to patient health in the form of non-invasive type with the help of physician.
