[ES]The invention relates to a system for controlling incontinence, urination, defecation and erection in neuropathy patients by electric stimulation of the sacral roots. The system is based on an implantable stimulator powered by a battery and controlled by a microprocessor. It is programmed by means of a PC with the purpose of defining different operating modes, Said device is called programmer . Programs may be activated from the programmer or by using a compact portable apparatus called command . Said command makes it possible for the patient to start or stop execution of any of the programs that were previously loaded by the doctor. Communication of the stimulator with the programmer and the command is carried out by telemetry. Furthermore, deactivation of a running program can be brought about by the presence of a magnet.
