Abstract: Devices, systems, and techniques are described for selecting an evoked compound action potential (ECAP) growth curve based on a posture of a patient. The ECAP growth curve defines a relationship between a parameter defining delivery of stimulation pulses delivered to the patient and a parameter of an ECAP signal of a nerve of a patient elicited by a stimulation pulse. In one example, a medical device detects a posture of a patient and selects an ECAP growth curve corresponding to the detected posture. The medical device selects, based on the ECAP growth curve corresponding to the detected posture and a characteristic of a detected ECAP signal, a value for a parameter for defining delivery of the stimulation pulses to the patient and controls delivery of the stimulation pulses according to the selected value for the parameter.
