Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Surface EMG biofeedback is an adjunct therapy to standard exercise regime for increasing muscle strength. Electromyographic biofeedback is a specific form of biofeedback. The device records muscle activity through application of vaginal probe will be inserted in vagina and the reference surface electrode would be placed over the right anterior superior iliac spine.
Patients would be advised to maximally contract the pelvic floor muscles as forcefully a possible for about 5 seconds. Three attempts would be made with 40 seconds rest in between each contraction. The exercises would be performed with the patient initially in supine position, with hip and knee flexed at 30 and 90 degrees.
