This case series describes the inpatient rehabilitation of two medically complex patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) who had undergone deep brain stimulator (DBS) placement. Most patients may not require inpatient rehabilitation. However, a short rehabilitation stay might be of use to patients who need to be weaned off medications or who need frequent adjustments of their deep brain stimulators. This is the first case series to describe the inpatient rehabilitation of patients with deep brain stimulators.
