1. A movement disorder therapy-tuning system comprising:

  • a tuning device further comprisingat least one interface and at least one processorthe at least one interface adapted a) for instructing a subject when to perform at least one movement disorder test, b) for automatically inputting a set of parameters into a processor under which a subject'"'"'s electrical stimulator is operating, c) for inputting scores quantifying at least one motor symptom based on the at least one movement disorder test performed multiple times under multiple sets of operating parameters, the scores being determined by at least one physician, clinician, technician or device with sensors for quantifying symptomatic movement, d) for outputting a tuning map, which at least one of the, or another of a clinician, technician or physician uses to select a new set of operating parameters for the electrical stimulator based at least in part on the tuning map, and e) for outputting the new set of operating parameters to the subject'"'"'s stimulator device such that the subject'"'"'s stimulator device can operate under the new set of operating parameters; and

    the at least one processor further comprising an algorithm adapted for combining at least the data corresponding to the subject'"'"'s multiple motor symptom scores, data corresponding to the test parameters from the at least one movement disorder test and/or the multiple sets of operating parameters to generate the tuning map for viewing by the at least one, or another of a clinician, technician and/or physician comprising a two-dimensional representation of a three-dimensional graph that illustrates a correlation between the test parameters and/or electrical stimulator operating parameters, and the data corresponding to the subject'"'"'s quantified motor symptoms scores.
