Viewing Surface Electrical Stimulation on Pelvic Floor With Ultrasound

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.

Treatment and study plan

Surface electrical stimulation

Device

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

Other names: Elitone

Primary outcomes

  1. Movement of the Bladder

    Time frame: 1 Day

    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.
