  • Posture-responsive therapy control based on patient input
    Patent number: 8175720
    Abstract: Patient efficacy inputs are received over a period of time during which posture-responsive therapy is delivered to the patient while the patient occupies a plurality of posture states. The patient inputs are correlated with the times at which the inputs were received, a sensed posture state of the patient, and a therapy program defining therapy delivery at each of the times the posture state was sensed. Posture-responsive therapy is adjusted based on the historical posture-responsive therapy information correlating the patient input, patient input time, sensed posture state, and therapy program.
