Abstract
A non-invasive method of treatment for urinary incontinence wherein the electromyographic biofeedback equipment is used on a patient by medical personnel without the necessity of insertion and removal of the catheter or neuromuscular stimulation, wherein the biofeedback results are monitored by both the medical personnel and the patient and are computed in 'real-time' allowing contemporaneous instructions to the patient. The method includes the steps of preparing a patient for the method of treatment; attaching sensors of an electromyographic biofeedback device to the patient; monitoring biofeedback signals resulting from voluntary muscle contractions by the patient; interpreting the biofeedback signals; instructing the patient to control muscle contractions according to the signals; and developing a self-treatment program of muscle contraction maneuvers for the patient.
