Claim One:
1. A method for delivering therapy to a patient, the method comprising: applying energy under control of a processor to one or both of a first active electrode and a second active electrode, wherein the energy is delivered to a target tissue location of a patient and a return electrode common to the first active electrode and the second active electrode; computing via the processor a common impedance to the return electrode; computing via the processor a primary impedance between the first active electrode and the return electrode using the common impedance and a secondary impedance between the second active electrode and the return electrode using the common impedance, wherein the computation of the primary impedance and the secondary impedance accounts for crosstalk between the first active electrode and the second active electrode through the target tissue location; delivering a therapy to the patient under control of the processor, wherein the energy is one of applied as a portion of the therapy or applied separate from the therapy; and adjusting one or more parameters of the therapy based on at least one of the common impedance, the primary impedance, and the secondary impedance.
