Implanted Stimulation Devices.
If other implanted devices are
indicated for the patient, careful screening is required to determine if
safe results can be achieved before permanently implementing con-
current electrical therapies.

Postural Changes.
Depending on the activity level of the patient,
postural changes may affect stimulation intensity. Instruct patients to
keep the Remote Control at hand at all times, and ensure that they
understand how to adjust stimulation levels.
