ABSTRACT:
An electrode assembly simultaneously measures myographic signals for proximal and distal muscles of the anal canal or the like by means of a first and second electrode pair displaced along an insulating support for fitting within the anal canal. In a first embodiment, the insulating support is tubular for channeling conductors from the electrodes to outside of the canal. In a second embodiment, the first and second electrode pairs are formed from conductive paint and connected to the distal end of the insulating support by means of pathways of conductive paint coated with insulating paint. The use of the probe provides a highly resolved schedule of the interaction of the various muscles of the anal canal needed for accurate diagnosis of injury or weakening of these muscles and rehabilitation of these muscles.
