an implantable electrode array configured to be implanted proximal to a mixed nerve comprising a plurality of nerve fibre types, the implantable electrode array comprising a plurality of electrodes; and
a control unit configured to deliver an electrical stimulus from at least one nominal stimulus electrode of the implantable electrode array, the electrical stimulus being delivered in accordance with a set of stimulus parameters; the control unit further configured to obtain from at least one nominal recording electrode of the implantable electrode array a recording of an electrophysiological response evoked by the electrical stimulus; the control unit further configured to analyse the recording by assessing one or more selected characteristics of the recording, and identify from the assessed selected characteristics a level of recruitment of at least a first fibre type recruited by the electrical stimulus, and the control unit further configured to post-operatively refine the stimulus parameters in a manner to effect selective recruitment of the first fibre types relative to other fibre types of the mixed nerve.
