Abstract
A medical device system includes an IMD configured to deliver a plurality of stimulation vectors and processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is configured to determine strength-duration curve data for the plurality of stimulation vectors, the strength-duration curve data representing, for respective pulse widths and stimulation vectors, a corresponding strength of electrical stimulation that evokes a physiological response, compare respective slopes of the strength-duration curve data for the plurality of stimulation vectors to one another, select at least one stimulation vector of the plurality of stimulation vectors based on the comparison of the respective slopes of the strength-duration curve data for the plurality of stimulation vectors, and cause the IMD to deliver the electrical stimulation to a neural target via the selected at least one stimulation vector.
