The primary outcome measure is objectively quantified muscle rigidity of the upper extremity, i.e., surface EMG recordings of the biceps and triceps muscle during standardized extension/flexion of the elbow joint (Levin et al., 2009) assessed 6 months after implantation in cross-over design. The trial is designed to detect with an 80% power a change of 0.27 mA of the therapeutic stimulation threshold with two-tailed P \\< 0.05 (Wilcoxon rank sum test). Secondary outcome measures address clinical motor, non-motor, neurocognitive and neuropsychiatric symptoms, freezing of gait, and quality of life.
