1. A method comprising:
- receiving a plurality of inputs from a patient via a programming device, wherein the plurality of inputs are indicative of an efficacy of therapy delivered to the patient by a medical device over a period of time, and wherein the medical device delivers posture-responsive therapy to the patient;
correlating, with at least one of the programming device or the medical device, each of the patient inputs to a patient input time, the patient input time being a time at which the respective patient input was received, a sensed posture state of the patient, and a therapy program defining therapy delivered by the medical device when the patient occupied the sensed posture state;
presenting the patient inputs and the correlated sensed posture states, therapy programs, and patient input times as a function of time to a user via a display device; and
adjusting the posture-responsive therapy delivered by the medical device based on one or more of the correlations between the patient inputs, the patient input times, the sensed posture states, and the therapy programs.

Abstract
Patient efficacy inputs are received over a period of time during which posture-responsive therapy is delivered to the patient while the patient occupies a plurality of posture states. The patient inputs are correlated with the times at which the inputs were received, a sensed posture state of the patient, and a therapy program defining therapy delivery at each of the times the posture state was sensed. Posture-responsive therapy is adjusted based on the historical posture-responsive therapy information correlating the patient input, patient input time, sensed posture state, and therapy program.

34. An implantable medical system configured to deliver posture-responsive therapy to a patient, the system comprising:
-
an implantable medical device (IMD) that senses patient posture states and delivers therapy to the patient by adjusting one or more therapy parameter values based on a sensed patient posture state; a user interface; one or more processors that receive a plurality of inputs from the patient via the user interface, where the plurality of inputs are indicative of an efficacy of therapy delivered to the patient by the IMD over a period of time, correlate each of the patient inputs to a patient input time, the patient input comprising a time at which the respective patient input was received, a sensed posture state of the patient, and a therapy program defining therapy delivered by the IMD when the patient occupied the sensed posture state, present the patient inputs and the correlated sensed posture states, therapy programs, and patient input times as a function of time to a user via the user interface, and adjust the posture-responsive therapy delivered by the IMD based on one or more of the correlations between the patient inputs, the patient input times, the sensed posture states, and the therapy programs. - View Dependent Claims (35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45)
