Abstract

See full text

The disclosure provides a method for associating a detected therapy adjustment to a posture state and storing the association with a plurality of associations for the posture state. In a record mode, an implantable medical device is configured to store therapy adjustments for each posture state and allow a user to find efficacious therapy based upon review of the associations made during therapy. The system may determine the associations through implementation of a posture search timer and a posture stability timer. These timers allow the system to correctly associate therapy adjustments to posture states when the patient anticipates the posture change by adjusting therapy before engaging in the desired posture state. An external programmer may present a range of the therapy adjustments for each posture state to allow a user to review the therapy adjustments that have been made during the therapy.
