Reorientation of patient posture states for posture-responsive therapy
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving first posture sensor data from a posture state sensor when a patient occupies a first posture state during a first period of time;
defining posture state reference data corresponding to the first posture state based at least in part on the first posture sensor data; and
redefining the posture state reference data based on second posture sensor data from the posture state sensor when the patient subsequently occupies the first posture state during a second period of time after the first period of time, wherein at least one of the receiving, defining, and redefining is performed at least in part via one or more processors.

Abstract
In general, the disclosure relates to medical devices and systems configured to deliver posture-responsive therapy to a patient. For example, a medical system may detect a posture state of a patient and deliver therapy based at least in part on the detected patient posture state. In some examples, the system comprises a posture state sensor configured to generate first posture sensor data when a patient is in a first posture state. The system may further comprise a processor configured to define posture state reference data corresponding to the first posture state based at least in part on the first posture sensor data, and redefine the posture state reference data based on second posture data generated by the posture state sensor when the patient is in the first posture state.

46. A computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions for causing one or more processors to:
-
receive first posture sensor data from a posture state sensor when a patient occupies a first posture state during a first period of time; define posture state reference data corresponding to the first posture state based at least in part on the first posture sensor data; and redefine the posture state reference data based on second posture sensor data from the posture state sensor when the patient subsequently occupies the first posture state during a second period of time after the first period of time.

47. A system comprising:
-
means for receiving first posture sensor data from means for sensing posture state data when a patient occupies a first posture state during a first period of time; means for defining posture state reference data corresponding to the first posture state based at least in part on the first posture sensor data; and means for redefining the posture state reference data based on second posture sensor data from the posture state sensor when the patient subsequently occupies the first posture state during a second period of time after the first period of time.
