High-density surface electromyographic assessment of pelvic floor hypertonicity in IC/BPS patients

from URO Today

High-density surface electromyographic assessment of pelvic floor hypertonicity in IC/BPS patients URO Today Seven female subjects with a prior diagnosis of IC/BPS were recruited for this study. A full digital pelvic examination was administered to identify hypertonic muscles. Intra-vaginal HD-sEMG was acquired during rest. Root-mean-squared (RMS) amplitude during rest was calculated for each channel to define a hypertonicity index and hypertonic zone. Innervation zones (IZs) were identified from the bipolar mapping of decomposed HD-sEMG signals and summarized into an IZ distribution mapping. READ MORE
