Abstract
A system for providing neural stimulation, including an activity monitor to sense activity and provide a signal indicative of the activity and a neural stimulator. The neural stimulator includes a pulse generator to provide a neural stimulation signal adapted to provide a neural stimulation therapy, and a modulator to receive the signal indicative of the activity and modulate the neural stimulation signal based on the signal indicative of the activity to change the neural stimulation therapy.
