1. A remote control for controlling a medical apparatus having a plurality of driven movable components, the remote control comprising:
a sensor configured to detect a position and a motion of the remote control, and
a plurality of release switches, each release switch corresponding to a specific driven movable component,
wherein the remote control emits a control signal controlling a motion of a specific driven movable component according to a motion of the remote control detected by the sensor when a control of the motion of the specific driven movable component is released by actuating the specific release switch corresponding to the specific driven movable component is released, the specific release switch operational to release only the specific driven movable component to thereby prevent the motion of the remote control detected by the sensor from being inadvertently interpreted as corresponding to a driven movable component other than the specific driven movable component corresponding to the specific release switch,
wherein one of the at least one driven movable components is formed by a wheel of the medical apparatus, wherein the wheel contacts a floor supporting the medical apparatus and comprises a drive and the wheel is configured to move the medical apparatus over the floor by the drive under the control of the remote control,
wherein the remote control has an elongated shape and a first axis (A) parallel to the elongated shape of the remote control and a second axis (B) perpendicular to the elongated shape of the remote control, and
wherein the remote control is configured to emit the control signal according to a direction of the motion of the remote control around at least one of the first axis (A) and the second axis (B).
