Assignment of therapy parameter to multiple posture states
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving an indication of a first user input;
receiving an indication of a second user input different than the first user input;
defining therapy parameter values for delivery of therapy to a patient based on the first user input;
associating, by a processor, one or more of the therapy parameter values with a plurality of posture states based on the second user input; and
automatically defining therapy parameter values for delivery of therapy to the patient when the patient occupies the posture states based on the association.

Abstract
The disclosure is directed towards posture-responsive therapy. To avoid interruptions in effective therapy, an implantable medical device may include a posture state module that detects the posture state of the patient and automatically adjusts therapy parameter values according to the detected posture state. A system may include an external programmer comprising a user interface that receives user input defining therapy parameter values for delivery of therapy to a patient, and user input associating one or more of the therapy parameter values with a plurality of posture states based on user input, a processor that automatically defines therapy parameter values for delivery of therapy to a patient when the patient occupies the posture states based on the association, and an implantable medical device that delivers the therapy to the patient in response to detection of the posture states.
