Abstract
A medical implant contains a sensor for sensing extracorporeally, manually generated shockwaves and for generating electrical signals, a detector connected to the sensor that, dependent on the electrical signals, emits pulses to a control unit connected to the detector for controlling a function implementing stage. The control unit emits a function signal to the function stage for the implementation of a function of the implant corresponding to a sequence of one or more parameters with reference to two or more pulses in a shockwave sequence, said sequence being identified in the control unit. In a method for controlling a medical implant, shockwaves are manually generated in a sequence and pulses are respectively generated dependent on the shockwaves, a function signal is supplied to a function stage given every identified sequence of one or more parameters referred to two or more pulses and the implant function defined by the identified sequence is then implemented by the function stage.
