CLINICIAN PROGRAMMER SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR STEERING VOLUMES OF ACTIVATION
First Claim
1. A method of a stimulation parameter selection machine, the method comprising:
- displaying, by a processor of the machine, via a display device, and in relation to a displayed model of a leadwire, an initial current field corresponding to a first stimulation parameter set;
in response to user input, shifting, by the processor, the display of the current field with respect to the displayed leadwire model;
determining, by the processor, a second stimulation parameter set that results in the shifted current field; and
at least one of (a) outputting the second stimulation parameter set, and (b) setting a stimulation device with the second stimulation parameter set, the stimulation device configured for performing a stimulation (1) using a leadwire modeled by the leadwire model and (2) in accordance with the second stimulation parameter set,wherein the user input is via selection of a component, each selection of which being interpreted as an instruction to shift the displayed current field.

Abstract
A system and method for selection of stimulation parameters for Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) may include a processor that displays in a display device and in relation to a displayed model of a leadwire including model electrodes, a current field corresponding to a first stimulation parameter set, provides a user interface for receipt of user input representing a shift of the current field, in response to the user input, moves, in the display device, the current field with respect to the displayed model, determines a second stimulation parameter set that results in the moved current field, and outputs the second stimulation parameter set and/or sets a stimulation device with the second stimulation parameter set, where the stimulation device is configured for performing a stimulation using the leadwire in accordance with the second stimulation parameter set.
