Welcome to the Movement Disorders Laboratory
Welcome to the Movement Disorders Laboratory at the Stanford School of Medicine! Our overall goal is to understand the role of the basal ganglia’s electrical activity during the onset and development of movement disorders. The laboratory focuses on the pathophysiology of movement disorders such as Parkinson’s disease, dystonia, and essential tremor using quantitative kinematics, dynamic posturography, and human brain electrophysiology. Our research uses innovative techniques and equipment to analyze behavior and movement both in the lab as well as the operating room.
