Linking posture states for posture responsive therapy
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- selecting a plurality of posture states of a patient as linked posture states;
selecting a set of one or more therapy parameter values for delivery of therapy to the patient by an implantable medical device for all of the linked posture states, the set of one or more therapy parameter values being the same for all of the linked posture states;
associating, by at least one processor, the set of one or more therapy parameter values with all of the linked posture states based on the selection; and
defining the therapy to be delivered to the patient by the implantable medical device for all of the linked 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 a user interface that receives user input linking a plurality of posture states of a patient, and selecting a set of therapy parameter values for delivery of therapy to the patient for each of a linked posture states, a processor that defines the therapy to be delivered to the patient for each of the linked posture states based on the selection, and an implantable medical device that delivers the therapy to the patient for each of the linked posture states based on the selection.
