Claim 9:
10. An implantable device for applying neural stimulus to neural tissue, the device comprising:
a plurality of electrodes including one or more stimulus electrodes and one or more sense electrodes;
a stimulus source for delivering stimulus pulses via the one or more stimulus electrodes to neural tissue;
measurement circuitry for measuring a neural signal sensed at the one or more sense electrodes; and
a control unit configured to:
control the stimulus source to deliver a therapeutic pulse to neural tissue via the one or more stimulus electrodes, the therapeutic pulse having a first pulse width, wherein the therapeutic pulse evokes a neural response;
control the stimulus source to deliver at least one probe pulse to the neural tissue having a second pulse width after the therapeutic pulse, wherein the second pulse width is less than the first pulse width;
control the measurement circuitry to measure a neural response subsequent to the therapeutic pulse;
determine a neural recruitment caused by the therapeutic pulse based on the neural response; and
determine a parameter for a subsequent therapeutic pulse based on the neural recruitment.
