Abstract
A method of varying the appropriate muscle strength of a person to at least alleviate urinary or fecal urgency or incontinence, or vaginal or bladder spasms, includes placing a surface electrode of electromyographic measuring apparatus at an appropriate position on the person and/or inserting a probe electrode of electromyographic measuring apparatus and/or pressure transducer probe of pressure measuring apparatus into the vaginal or anal passage of a person and measuring with the electromyographic or pressure measuring apparatus the appropriate muscle strength of the person while the person is tensing the appropriate muscles in a urine or feces stopping manner to obtain an EMG or pressure signal. The threshold value of a portable electromyographic or pressure measuring unit is then adjusted to enable the person to repeat the measurement at different times to attempt to obtain better EMG or pressure signals in an urge, incontinence or spasm reducing sense. The portable unit gives an audible and/or visual and/or tactile indication when an EMG or pressure signal representing an improvement relative to the threshold value is achieved.
