Perineometer-Free Pelvic Floor EMG Kegels

Non-Invasive Biofeedback EMG Techniques for Teaching Kegel Exercises without Internal Sensors using
J&J C2-Plus 4 EMG Biofeedback System

• Biofeedback and other behavioral techniques are recognized as first-line treatments for urinary stress incontinence and overactive bladder.

• Learn simple EMG biofeedback techniques that eliminate the need for internal vaginal or rectal sensors.

• Learn new biofeedback techniques to help your clients with incontinence.

  Learn Perineometer-Free Pelvic Floor EMG Kegels

• • Learn biofeedback techniques for kegel exercises without using the typical internal perineometer and eliminate one of the greatest obstacles to treatment. Increase patient follow through from physician referrals to your practice by eliminating the need for the perineometer.
    
    
    Learn to use multiple-lead EMGs placedments to non-invasively access readings from the pelvic floor muscles. Demonstrations will show that these derivative EMG readings can be successfully used for treatment for pelvic floor rehabilitation.
    

This course will include a review of basic EMG features and will describe in detail how to apply the technology of multiple-lead EMGs to infer measurements of the pelvic floor. Participants will have opportunities for using a vintage BIOCOMP 2010 system as well as current biofeedback systems as provided by J and J Biofeedback Equipment. 

Learn to treat incontinence and overactive bladder through non-invasive techniques using this and other behavioral strategies.

This course demonstrates a technique of using surface EMGs to obtain non-invasive readings of the pelvic floor. This technique has been used successfully in clinical practice treating hundreds of patients since 1993.

Perineometer-Free EMG Pelvic Floor Kegels removes obstacles to treatment and improves treatment:

Perineometer-Free EMG Pelvic Floor Kegels eliminate a major obstacle to treatment, thereby assisting you in developing your practice. You will have a unique service to offer urology, ob-gyn, internal medicine and family medicine physicians, chiropractors and other allied health persons in your area.

Some patients just don’t want to use an internal sensor. Face it, if you're a woman, do you like to go for your annual Pap exam? Using Perineometer-Free EMGs, patients simply come to sessions with a pair of loose shorts. We place sticky electrodes on the inner thighs rather than invasive, internal sensors.

There may be other therapists in your area treating incontinence and overactive bladder, but if everyone else is using internal sensors, you have a unique service. And believe me, this makes a difference to the patients and their doctors.

• This technique also makes the kinesthetic feedback of clinical biofeedback training sessions more closely approximate the sensations patients feel when exercising at home. This reduces training time.


The Perineometer-Free EMG technique eliminates clinical logistics:

• No internal perineometers means reduced infection-control issues. 
  Surface EMG electrodes can be one-time use.

• No invasive perineometers reduces privacy issues for clinical staff

• No Medicare reimbursement issues for internal perineometers

• No need for storage of perineometers
