Abstract
A method and system of providing therapy to a patient implanted with an array of electrodes is provided. The electrodes are configured for respectively providing electrical stimulation to tissue of the patient. The method comprises measuring physiological parameter information indicative of the coupling efficiencies between the respective electrodes of the array and the tissue, computing numerical values from the measured physiological parameter information, generating a chart representative of the computed numerical values, and displaying the chart to a user.
