Abstract
A patient is detected to be in a first posture state. In response to the patient being detected to be in the first posture state, a first electrical stimulation therapy is applied to a body region of the patient by a pulse generator implanted in the patient. The patient is detected to be in a second posture state. In response to the patient being detected to be in the second posture state that is different from the first posture state, a second electrical stimulation therapy is applied to the body region of the patient by the pulse generator. The second electrical stimulation therapy is different from the first electrical stimulation therapy.
