Claim 35:
36. A non-transitory computer readable medium for neurostimulation of a mixed nerve comprising a plurality of nerve fibre types, comprising instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, causes performance of the following:
delivering an electrical stimulus from at least one nominal stimulus electrode of an implantable electrode array proximal to a mixed nerve comprising a plurality of nerve fibre types, the implantable electrode array comprising a plurality of electrodes, the electrical stimulus being delivered in accordance with a set of stimulus parameters;
obtaining from at least one nominal recording electrode of the implantable electrode array a recording of the electrophysiological response evoked by the electrical stimulus;
analysing the recording of the electrophysiological response by assessing one or more selected characteristics of the recording, and identifying from the assessed selected characteristics the levels of recruitment of the fibre types recruited by the electrical stimulus; and
post-operatively refining the stimulus parameters in a manner to effect selective recruitment of a first fibre type relative to other fibre types of the mixed nerve.
