Abstract:
An electrical stimulation is applied to a patient via a lead by increasing a stimulation parameter over time. An anal sphincter response, a bellows response, and a toes response from the patient are detected as a result of the electrical stimulation. A first value of the stimulation parameter associated with the anal sphincter response, a second value of the stimulation parameter associated with the bellows response, and a third value of the stimulation parameter associated with the toes response are determined. A placement of the lead inside the patient is evaluated based on: a chronological occurrence of the anal sphincter response, the bellows response, and the toes response; a comparison of the first value with a predetermined threshold; a deviation of the second value from the first value; a deviation of the third value from the first value; or a deviation of the third value from the second value.

Claim (Index 11):
The method of  claim 8 , wherein the evaluating comprises determining that the placement of the lead has not been optimized if either the bellows response or the toes response occurred before the anal sphincter response.
