1. A stimulation system comprising:
- a first sensor to generate a first reading;
a second sensor to generate a second reading; and
an analysis module to conduct an evaluation of a patient based on the first reading and the second reading, wherein the patient receives a stimulation signal from the stimulation system.

Abstract
A stimulation system can have a first sensor to generate a first reading and a second sensor to generate a second reading. An analysis module of a programmer such as a patient programmer, which programs a stimulation signal to be delivered to a patient, conducts an evaluation of the patient based on the first and second readings. Evaluations may include determinations such as range of motion determinations, posture determinations, physical task-specific brain activity determinations, cognitive task-specific brain activity determinations, and brain activity-specific movement determinations.

26. A method of operating a deep brain stimulation system comprising:
-
transmitting a first reading from an implantable pulse generator including a first sensor to an analysis module of the deep brain stimulation system; generating a stimulation signal by the implantable pulse generator; transmitting the stimulation signal to a stimulation extension; delivering the stimulation signal to a patient at a brain treatment site by a brain stimulation lead; transmitting a second reading from a second sensor to the analysis module; obtaining a relative measurement by comparing the first reading to the second reading; and conducting an evaluation of the patient based on the relative measurement. - View Dependent Claims (27, 28, 29, 30, 31)
