Therapy system including multiple posture sensors
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- detecting, by a processor of a therapy system, a change in orientation of a first posture sensor of the therapy system, wherein the therapy system provides posture responsive therapy to a patient; and
automatically reorienting, by the processor, the first posture sensor based on posture data from a second posture sensor of the therapy system.

Abstract
Posture-responsive therapy is delivered by the medical system based on posture state input from only one of multiple posture sensors at any given time. An example implantable medical system includes a first posture sensor and a second sensor. A processor controls therapy delivery to the patient based on at least one of a patient posture state or a patient activity level determined based on input from only one of the first or second posture sensors. In some examples, one of multiple posture sensors of an implantable posture-responsive medical system is used to automatically reorient another posture sensor (of the system), which has become disoriented. The disoriented posture sensor may be automatically reoriented for one or more posture states at a time.

8. An implantable medical system comprising:
-
a first posture sensor that generates posture data indicative of a posture state of a patient; a second posture sensor that generates posture data indicative of a posture state of the patient; and a processor that detects a change in orientation of the first posture sensor, receives posture data from the second posture sensor, and reorients the first posture sensor based on the posture data from the second posture sensor. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
