Claim:
1. A method of tuning a movement disorder therapy system comprising steps of: providing a movement disorder diagnostic device to a subject having a deep brain stimulation (DBS) device with a first level of DBS parameters, the movement disorder diagnostic device comprising at least one movement sensor having a signal, and a processor comprising an algorithm; instructing the subject to perform at least one movement disorder test(s) while the subject is undergoing DBS therapy or is under the effects of DBS therapy; measuring and quantifying a severity of motor symptoms of the subject in real time based at least in part on the signal from the at least one movement sensor(s) during the at least one movement disorder test(s); transmitting data corresponding to the severity of the subject's measured and quantified motor symptoms to a clinician, physician or technician, the data being represented in the form of a tuning map that is a two-dimensional representation of a three-dimensional graph; providing a second level of DBS parameters to reduce the severity of the measured and quantified motor symptoms based at least in part on a review of the tuning map by the clinician, physician or technician; and entering the second level of DBS parameters into the subject's DBS device such that the subject's DBS device operates and provides an electric stimulus to the subject with the DBS device under the second level of DBS parameters.
