Claim 0:
1. A device to prevent urinary leakage intended to be implanted in a patient, comprising:
a cuff operable to compress a urethra of the patient,
an implanted electronic controller operablc configured to actuate the cuff,
a first sensor operable to measure [[the]] activity of the patient and coupled with the controller, the controller being configured to anticipate any urinary leakage depending on the measured activity of the patient, wherein the measured activity relates to a position of the patient,
the controller being configured to:
(a) detect, in response to a first signal from the first sensor, if the position of the patient is a standing or sitting position along a substantially vertical axis;
(b) detect, in response to a second signal from the first sensor, if the position of the patient is a lying down position along a substantially horizonal axis; and
(c) cause the cuff to have a different urethra compression pressure if the position of the patient is the standing or sitting position versus the lying down position to prevent the urinary leakage.
