ABSTRACT:
A method of improving the pelvic floor muscle strength of a person in a manner to lessen urinary incontinence includes placing surface electrodes of electromyographic measuring apparatus on the perineum of the person, measuring with said apparatus the bladder controlling pelvic floor muscle strength of the person while the person is tensing the pelvic floor muscles in a urine stopping manner to obtain an EMG signal, and adjusting the threshold value of a portable electromyographic measuring unit to enable the person to repeat the measurement at different times to attempt to obtain better EMG signals in a urinary incontinence reducing sense. The portable unit gives an audible and/or visual indication when an EMG signal above the threshold value is achieved.
