Abstract:
A method for determining whether the relative position of electrodes used by a neurostimulation system has changed within a patient comprises determining the amplitude of a field potential at each of at least one of the electrodes, determining if a change in each of the determined electric field amplitudes has occurred, and analyzing the change in each of the determined electric field amplitudes to determine whether a change in the relative position of the electrodes has occurred. Another method comprises measuring a first monopolar impedance between a first electrode and a reference electrode, measuring a second monopolar impedance between second electrode and the reference electrode, measuring a bipolar impedance between the first and second electrodes, and estimating an amplitude of a field potential at the second electrode based on the first and second monopolar impedances and the bipolar impedance.

Claim (Index 9):
A system configured for use with implanted leads, comprising:\n a pulse generator and a programmer configured to program the pulse generator, wherein the system is configured to: determine a relative position of one of the implanted leads with respect to at least one other of the implanted leads, including:\n deliver electrical energy to at least one active electrode on the one of the leads in preparation to determine at least one electrical parameter; \n determine the at least one electrical parameter; and \n determine the relative position based on the at least one electrical parameter.
