SEMG-Biofeedback

Surface electromyography (SEMG)-assisted biofeedback is a growing form of treatment for patients who suffer from stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Traditionally, surgery was the accepted method for treating SUI, however SEMG-assisted biofeedback is cheaper, less invasive, and yields fewer negative side-affects. SEMG-assisted biofeedback is a system that allows women to visualize what muscles they are contracting as they attempt to work the pelvic floor. Many women don’t know how to contract their pelvic floor muscles, and this system guides and motivates patients as they work to strengthen this area. Ultimately the aim of this treatment is to strengthen pelvic floor muscles and to stabilize the bladder neck and urethra, alleviating symptoms of stress urinary incontinence.
