Stimulation programming and control based on patient ambulatory velocity

A method comprising:

• receiving, with one or more processors, a first ambulatory velocity of a patient while electrical stimulation with a first set of stimulation parameters is being delivered to the patient;
• adjusting, based on the first ambulatory velocity and by a predetermined amount, one or more of the first set of stimulation parameters to generate an adjusted set of stimulation parameters by the predetermined amount;
• receiving a subsequent ambulatory velocity of the patient while the electrical stimulation with the adjusted set of stimulation parameters is being delivered to the patient, wherein further adjusting the one or more of the first set of stimulation parameters comprises:
• automatically adjusting the one or more of the first set of stimulation parameters at a first rate until the subsequent ambulatory velocity is greater than the first ambulatory velocity, wherein automatically adjusting the one or more of the first set of stimulation parameters at the first rate includes increasing an amplitude at a first amplitude increase rate;
• and
• automatically adjusting the one or more of the first set of stimulation parameters at a second rate until the subsequent ambulatory velocity is less than or equal to the first ambulatory velocity, the first rate being different than the second rate, wherein automatically adjusting the one or more of the first set of stimulation parameters at the second rate includes increasing the amplitude at a second amplitude increase rate different than the first amplitude increase rate;
• generating, and based on the subsequent ambulatory velocity, one or more recommended electrical stimulation parameters the patient;
• and
• causing delivery, to the patient, of electrical stimulation with the one or more recommended electrical stimulation parameters.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed, cause one or more processors to:

• receive a first ambulatory velocity of a patient while electrical stimulation with a first set of stimulation parameters is being delivered to the patient;
• adjust, based on the first ambulatory velocity and by a predetermined amount, one or more of the first set of stimulation parameters to generate an adjusted set of stimulation parameters by the predetermined amount;
• receive a subsequent ambulatory velocity of the patient while the electrical stimulation with the adjusted set of stimulation parameters is being delivered to the patient, wherein the instructions that cause the one or more processors to further adjust the one or more of the first set of stimulation parameters comprise instructions that cause the one or more processors to:
• automatically adjust the one or more of the first set of stimulation parameters at a first rate until the subsequent ambulatory velocity is greater than the first ambulatory velocity, wherein the instructions that cause the one or more processors to automatically adjust the one or more of the first set of stimulation parameters at the first rate comprise instructions that cause the one or more processors to increase an amplitude at a first amplitude increase rate;
• and
• automatically adjust the one or more of the first set of stimulation parameters at a second rate until the subsequent ambulatory velocity is less than or equal to the first ambulatory velocity, the first rate being different than the second rate, wherein the instructions that cause the one or more processors to automatically adjust the one or more of the first set of stimulation parameters at the second rate comprise instructions that cause the one or more processors to increase the amplitude at a second amplitude increase rate different than the first amplitude increase rate;
• generate, based on the subsequent ambulatory velocity, one or more recommended electrical stimulation parameters the patient;
• and
• cause delivery, to the patient, of electrical stimulation with the one or more recommended electrical stimulation parameters.
