ABSTRACT:
Apparatus and method for the measurement of and assistance in the treatment of the pubococcygeus muscle of the human using myographic biofeedback. A single probe with a plurality of separated noble metal smooth-faced sensing electrodes detects minute electrical pulses in the range of zero to twenty-five microvolts (RMS). The impulses are transmitted through connecting cables to electronic circuits which amplify the impulses and transform them into visual, auditory, or tactile signals which are presented to the patient, as a biofeedback signal, in real time. The apparatus and method is used to diagnose, train and exercise the pubococcygeus muscle under conscious control, and is useful in the treatment of several pathological conditions of the female pelvic organs, including sexual inadequacy, and in research concerning human sexual response.
