A device ( 20 ) for treatment of a patient's urinary incontinence, including a sensor, ( 44 ), which generates a signal responsive to a physiological characteristic indicative of a likelihood of incontinence. A control unit ( 22 ) receives the signal from the sensor. At least one electrode ( 29 ) is preferably implanted in the patient. The electrode is coupled to cause contraction of a pelvic muscle of the patient responsive to application of electrical energy to the electrode. Responsive to the signal, the control unit applies an electrical waveform to the electrode, so as to inhibit the incontinence.
