Graphical configuration of electrodes for electrical stimulation
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- displaying a graphical representation of a plurality of electrodes implanted within a patient on at least one medical lead;
displaying an active electrode template at a first position relative to the graphical representation of the electrodes, the active electrode template including one or more anodes and one or more cathodes and defining a spatial relationship of the one or more anodes and one or more cathodes;
receiving input from a user dragging the active electrode template to a second position relative to the graphical representation of the electrodes; and
during the input dragging the active electrode template, adjusting at least one parameter of electrical stimulation delivered to the patient via at least a subset of the implanted electrodes a plurality of times based on a respective plurality of intermediate positions of the active electrode template relative to the graphical representation of the electrodes on the stimulation lead, wherein a number of times that the at least one parameter is adjusted during the input dragging the active electrode template from the first position to the second position is inversely proportional to a speed of the input dragging the active electrode template.

Abstract
A device that programs a medical device includes a display and a user input device. The device displays a graphical representation of a plurality of electrodes on a medical lead implanted in the patient, and displays an active electrode template at a first position relative to the graphical representation of the electrodes. A processor of the device receives input dragging the active electrode template. In response to the input dragging the active electrode template, the processor adjusts at least one parameter of electrical stimulation delivered to the patient via the lead based on the position of the active electrode template relative to the graphical representation of the electrodes on the medical lead.
