1. An adjustable stimulation device comprising:

  • an elongated lead body having opposed first and second ends defining a longitudinal axis therebetween, said lead body having at least one electrode for delivering electrical stimulation to targeted tissue;

    a position control mechanism for permitting adjustment of the position of said lead body in a direction substantially perpendicular to said longitudinal axis of said lead body;

    a housing base extending along a plane parallel to said longitudinal axis and having a structure for guiding the movement of said lead body relative to said housing base;

    said lead body having a cooperating structure that is in continuous sliding engagement with said housing base structure during adjustment of the position of said lead body in a direction substantially perpendicular to said longitudinal axis of said lead body and along a plane substantially parallel to said housing base plane,wherein said cooperating structure defines a groove extending substantially perpendicular to said longitudinal axis of said lead body and said structure comprises a tongue member extending from said housing base that engages said groove,wherein said cooperating structure further comprises a pair of guide shoes where each of said guide shoes includes a first portion that extends from said bottom portion in a direction substantially perpendicular to said bottom portion and a second portion that extends from said first portion in a direction substantially parallel to and spaced from said bottom portion.
