A medical device, programmer, or other computing device may determine
values of one or more activity and, in some embodiments, posture metrics
for each therapy parameter set used by the medical device to deliver
therapy. The metric values for a parameter set are determined based on
signals generated by the sensors when that therapy parameter set was in
use. Activity metric values may be associated with a postural category in
addition to a therapy parameter set, and may indicate the duration and
intensity of activity within one or more postural categories resulting
from delivery of therapy according to a therapy parameter set. A posture
metric for a therapy parameter set may indicate the fraction of time
spent by the patient in various postures when the medical device used a
therapy parameter set. The metric values may be used to evaluate the
efficacy of the therapy parameter sets.
