According to the invention, the device comprises at least two coils S having at least one power supply for generating the magnetic fields at innervation zones of the body part, especially at end branchings of motor nerve fibers or peripheral nerves. The invention also relates to a device for controlling or regulating the at least one power supply provided for the coils S . The device for controlling or regulating the at least one power supply provided for the coils S comprises at least one current pulse generator for emitting current pulses I(S ) with pulse frequencies f(I(S )) and pulse durations d(I(S )) by the at least one power supply provided for the coils S . The emission of the current pulses I(S ) causes the muscles of the body part to contract or relax in a coordinated manner so that a coordinated composed movement of the body part ensues.
