: Hyperkinetic movement disorders involve excessive, involuntary movements such as ataxia, chorea, dystonia, myoclonus, tics, and tremor. Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) allow investigators to integrate multimodal instrumented movement measurements and imaging techniques and to analyze these data together at scale. In this systematic review, we aim to characterize AI's performance in diagnosing and quantitatively phenotyping these disorders.

We recently showed that chronic aDBS utilizing invasive neural signals for feedback control is superior to conventional DBS (cDBS) during normal daily life in a 2-month trial. The stability of aDBS over longer periods remains unclear.
