Procedures
Muscle Awareness and Strengthening:
This procedure can best be enhanced with muscle (EMG) biofeedback in which the neural activity of the neurons controlling the muscles is measured and turned into auditory and/or visual displays that allow the person to assume control of this variable. This training is useful with urinary incontinence through increasing general tone of the pubic floor musculature. It is also useful in other cases where it is desirable to increase muscle tone and activity, as with paralyzed muscles.
