First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for delivering electrical stimulation therapy to a medical patient, the method comprising:
- receiving, by one or more processors, a value for a sensed parameter indicative of head position of the patient;
selecting, by the one or more processors, at least one therapy parameter that at least partially defines electrical stimulation and is mapped to the value for the sensed parameter, the at least one therapy parameter selected from a plurality of therapy parameters previously mapped to respective values for the sensed parameter; and
controlling, by one or more processors, delivery of the electrical stimulation to the patient based at least partially on the selected therapy parameter.

Abstract
Techniques and systems for determining a head position of a patient and controlling delivery of electrical stimulation to a target stimulation site based on the determined head position are described. In some examples, movement of the head of the patient may result in movement of a lead, through which the electrical stimulation may be delivered, relative to the target stimulation site. Thus, controlling delivery of the electrical stimulation based on the head position may improve the efficiency and efficacy of the electrical stimulation therapy.
