ABSTRACT:
An electrode assembly measures myographic signals on the superior side of the pelvic floor muscles, viz., the urogenital diaphragm or the puborectalis muscle, under a state of physiological contraction for various retention forces. The electrode assembly has an insulating support having a conical end. The assembly is inserted through the vagina or anal canal so that electrodes on the conical face rest against the superior side of the pelvic floor muscles to receive electromyographic signals. The weight of the assembly may be selected to provide various amounts of muscular reaction. An insertion guide provides an indication of the orientation of the electrodes as positioned by the insertion guide.
