NCT03528928

Brief Summary

Subjects will place a surface electrode on their perineal area after a bladder-filling protocol. Transabdominal ultrasound will image the base of the bladder at rest, voluntary pelvic floor contraction, with the surface electrical stimulation and with a combined pelvic floor contraction and electrical stimulation active.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Movement of the Bladder

    Visualization of movement of the bladder with use of device by transabdominal ultrasound was captured and the measurement is measured in pixels for centroid magnitude displacement.

    1 Day

Study Arms (1)

Surface electrical stimulation

EXPERIMENTAL

Each subject did a Kegel pelvic floor contraction, had the surface electrical stimulation turned on at highest comfortable intensity, did a Kegel contraction with surface electrical stimulation on, and had second electrical stimulation turned on.

Device: Surface electrical stimulation

Interventions

Thin electrode with four conductive areas placed over the perineal area.

Also known as: Elitone
Surface electrical stimulation
