Patient assignment of therapy parameter to posture state
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- delivering therapy to a patient according to a set of therapy parameter values while the patient occupies a first posture state;
receiving user input that selects a second posture state not currently occupied by the patient and associates one or more of the therapy parameter values with the second posture state, wherein the second posture state is different from the first posture state; and
automatically defining therapy for delivery to the patient when the patient occupies the second posture state based on the associated therapy parameter values.

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 implantable medical device that delivers therapy to a patient according to a set of therapy parameter values while the patient occupies a first posture state, a user interface that receives patient input associating one or more of the therapy parameter values with a second posture state different from the first posture state, and a processor that automatically defines therapy for delivery to the patient when the patient occupies the second posture state based on the associated therapy parameter values.
