    摘要: Neurostimulation of a mixed nerve comprising a plurality of nerve fibre types. An implantable electrode array comprising a plurality of electrodes is positioned proximal to the mixed nerve. An electrical stimulus is delivered from at least one nominal stimulus electrode of the implantable electrode array, in accordance with a set of stimulus parameters. A recording of the electrophysiological response evoked by the electrical stimulus is obtained from at least one nominal recording electrode of the implantable electrode array. The recording is analysed by assessing one or more selected characteristics of the recording, and from the observed selected characteristics a level of recruitment of one or more fibre types recruited by the electrical stimulus is identified. The stimulus parameters are refined in a manner to effect selective recruitment of one or more fibre types relative to other fibre types of the mixed nerve.
