Abstract
An apparatus comprises an implantable sensor and a signal analyzer circuit communicatively coupled to the implantable sensor. The implantable sensor is configured for coupling to an implantable lead and the implantable sensor provides an electrical vibration sensor signal representative of mechanical vibration of the implantable lead. The signal analyzer circuit is configured to determine a baseline of the vibration sensor signal, detect a change in the vibration sensor signal from the baseline vibration sensor signal, and provide an indication of the change to a user or process.
