Claim 27:
28. A method for prevention of urinary leakage of a patient, the method comprising:
(a) measuring activity of the patient with a multi-axis accelerometer;
(b) using an implanted microprocessor to detect if the patient is in a standing or sitting position along a substantially vertical axis in response to a first signal from the accelerometer;
(c) using the microprocessor to detect if the patient is in a lying down position along a substantially horizonal axis in response to a second signal from the accelerometer; and
(d) the microprocessor causing an instruction given to a cuff to compress a urethra with a closing pressure to differ if the patient is in the standing or sitting position versus the lying down position to deter urinary leak.
