ASSOCIATING THERAPY ADJUSTMENTS WITH PATIENT POSTURE STATES
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving user input indicating an adjustment to a first therapy parameter value that defines therapy delivered to a patient by a medical device;
associating the adjustment with a sensed posture state of the patient; and
based on the adjustment, automatically updating a second therapy parameter value associated with at least one patient posture state related to the sensed posture state and not associated with a respective stability indication.

Abstract
A therapy adjustment received from a patient is associated with a sensed patient posture state. Thereafter, a stability indication can be associated with the sensed posture state to indicate that a therapy adjustment specific to the sensed posture state was received and implemented. In addition, therapy parameter values associated with related patient posture states are updated based on the therapy adjustment. In some examples, only the related posture states that are not associated with respective stability indications are updated based on the therapy adjustment. The absence of a stability indication indicates that the patient has not inputted a therapy adjustment specific to the respective related posture state. As a result, the therapy parameter values associated with the related posture states that are not associated with stability indications may float until the patient adjusts the therapy parameter value associated with the respective related posture state.

18. A system comprising:
-
a posture state sensor that generates a signal indicative of a patient posture state; a user input mechanism that receives user input indicating an adjustment to a first therapy parameter value that defines therapy delivered to a patient; and a processor that associates the adjustment with a sensed posture state of the patient determined based on the signal from the posture state sensor, and based on the adjustment, updates a second therapy parameter value associated with at least one patient posture state related to the sensed posture state and not associated with a respective stability indication. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33)

34. A computer-readable medium comprising instructions that cause a programmable processor to:
-
receive user input indicating an adjustment to a first therapy parameter value that defines therapy delivered to a patient; associate the adjustment with a sensed posture state of the patient; based on the adjustment, update a second therapy parameter value associated with at least one patient posture state related to the sensed posture state and not associated with a respective stability indication; and control a medical device to deliver therapy to the patient according to the adjusted first therapy parameter value and the updated second therapy parameter value. - View Dependent Claims (35)
