PelvicFloor_P1 Pelvic Pain
PelvicFloor_P1_fullname Pelvic Floor Pain
PelvicFloor_P1_more There are many causes of pelvic floor pain that often coexist with other ailments such as inflammation of the bladder or intestines, constipation and urinary disorders. Pain can also be caused by recurrent, non-infectious inflammation, vaginismus, and inflammation of the coccyx or sacroiliac joints. These symptoms are often accompanied by increased pelvic muscle tone and blood circulation problems.
PelvicFloor_P1_start You can use either a vaginal/rectal electrode or external skin electrodes, placed over the lumbo-sacral area on the lower spine. You can also use one or two channels of stimulation. \n1. \\>If using the vaginal probe, gently insert the clean and moistened electrode probe into the vagina. Place it firmly to ensure the metal parts of the probe are within the vagina. The metal plates of the electrode should face sideways towards the thighs and their whole surface should be in contact with the vaginal wall. Firmly fitted underwear will help to prevent the probe from slipping out of place. The most suitably position involves laying in a semi prone position. \\<\n2. \\>Press mA+ to increase the intensity until you reach a comfortable level of stimulation, at which point the programme will start and you should follow the on-screen prompts.\\<\nDuring treatment, focus on muscle relaxation.
PelvicFloor_P1_enc Use 1-2 times a day for 3 months. Do not stop treatment even if the symptoms disappear, as regeneration of innervation and blood supply reconstruction takes time.\nThese guidelines are general. For more specific information we recommend that you seek the advice of a specialist qualified in pelvic floor therapy.
PelvicFloor_P2 Urge 1
PelvicFloor_P2_fullname Urge Incontinence 1
PelvicFloor_P2_more An Overactive Bladder is a condition that results from sudden, involuntary contraction of the muscle in the wall of the urinary bladder. This condition causes a sudden and unstoppable need to urinate (urinary urgency) even though the bladder may only contain a small amount of urine. These contractions may occur in the night (one of the causes of nocturia) but also during the day, and often also lead to unexpected leakage of small amounts of urine.\n\nSTOP!\nIf you think your desire to urinate is abnormal, please consult your GP and request referral to a specialist to establish the cause of the symptoms, as low frequency stimulation is only helpful in case of a genuinely overactive bladder. Other causes of bladder overreaction may be present when the pudendal nerve is functioning normally, and the need to urinate frequently may be caused by bacterial or viral inflammation, nephrolithiasis, as well as a weak proximal bladder neck, see below.\n\nIMPORTANT!\nBefore using this programme conduct a pelvic floor examination using EMG with the help of a specialist. The flaccid muscles allow the penetration of drops of urine into the urethra and cause reflex micturition, giving the same feeling as urinary bladder OAB, but this can be prevented by sufficient muscle exercise and stimulation. In addition to this programme, the EMG study also allows you to assess the impact of degenerative changes of the spine to the pelvic floor function.\nSTIM is a safe and drug-free treatment method which increases control over the mechanisms of the pelvic floor (innervation, blood circulation, muscle function). A urinary incontinence disorder specialist can perform the necessary examinations to advise you regarding appropriate stimulation parameters. A specialist can also help determine treatment schedule and carry out periodic EMG assessments of your rehabilitation progress.
PelvicFloor_P2_start Before treatment:\n1. \\>Avoid foods and liquids which irritate the bladder. \\<\n2. \\>Try to delay the moment of emptying the bladder. \\<\nDo not limit general fluid intake.\n\nVaginal stimulation:\nGently insert the clean and moistened electrode probe into the vagina. Place it firmly to ensure the metal parts of the probe are within the vagina. The metal plates of the electrode should face sideways towards thighs and their whole surface should be in contact with the vaginal wall. Firmly fitted underwear will help to prevent the probe from slipping out of place.\n\nSlowly adjust the intensity with the mA+ and mA- buttons to feel a comfortable but not discomforting level of stimulation. Do not exceed the level of 55mA. Use 1-2 times a day.\n\nFunctional Stimulation:\nTo stimulate the sacral micturition center, stick adhesive electrodes on either side of the spine, at the level of the sacrum. The intensity of stimulation should be clearly felt, but not exceed 15 mA. Use 2-3 times a day.

PelvicFloor_P3 Stress 1
PelvicFloor_P3_fullname Stress Incontinence 1
PelvicFloor_P3_more Stress Incontinence is also referred to as incontinence due to the strain and damage on the pelvic floor nerves and muscles that support the bladder. This damage is typically caused by child delivery, weightlifting, coughing, constipation, gynaecological surgery or degenerative changes of the spine. The muscular sagging of the pelvic floor causes the gradual subsidence of the internal organs. As a result, urine leaks when there is increased pressure on the bladder - when the internal bladder pressure is greater than the force of the urethra valve.\nUsing EMG and a probe, check the functioning of the pelvic floor. EMG is also helpful in establishing the influence of degenerative changes in the spine over the pelvic floor function.
PelvicFloor_P3_start 1. \\>Gently insert the clean and moistened electrode probe into the vagina. Place it firmly to ensure the metal parts of the probe are fully within the vagina.

PelvicFloor_P12 Childbirth
PelvicFloor_P12_fullname Continence after Childbirth
PelvicFloor_P12_more Normally, your nerves, ligaments, and pelvic floor muscles work together to support your bladder and keep the urethra closed so urine doesn't leak out. Overstretching of these areas or injury during pregnancy or childbirth can cause them to stop working properly. The probability of urinary incontinence is higher for mothers who have had many children, especially if they were delivered naturally. However, women who have reached menopause experience incontinence in similar numbers, regardless of the number of pregnancies they had or the type of delivery. Therefore, it is very important to keep your pelvic floor muscles in tune and act proactively.\n\nIn some cases, prolapse may occur. Prolapse of the pelvic floor organs (vagina, urethra, rectum, bladder) is, in most cases, a result of serious deterioration of the pelvic floor muscular functions. A surgical intervention is sometimes necessary, and this should then be followed by rehabilitation.\n\nUsing this programme may significantly reduce the need for surgery as even with a serious prolapse (grade II), regular exercise and a mixture of stimulation and voluntary contractions using EMG and ETS can lead to noticeable improvement. Even if surgery is deemed necessary, any previous exercise will help improve the outcome of the surgery and accelerate the healing process.

PelvicFloor_P15 Urge 2
PelvicFloor_P15_fullname Urge Incontinence 2
PelvicFloor_P15_more An Overactive Bladder is a condition that results from sudden, involuntary contraction of the muscle in the wall of the urinary bladder. This condition causes a sudden and unstoppable need to urinate (urinary urgency) even though the bladder may only contain a small amount of urine. These contractions may occur in the night (one of the causes of nocturia) but also during the day, and often also lead to unexpected leakage of small amounts of urine.\n\nSTOP!\nIf you think your desire to urinate is abnormal, please consult your GP and request referral to a specialist to establish the cause of the symptoms, as low frequency stimulation is only helpful in case of a genuinely overactive bladder. Other causes of bladder overreaction may be present when the pudendal nerve is functioning normally, and the need to urinate frequently may be caused by bacterial or viral inflammation, nephrolithiasis, as well as a weak proximal bladder neck, see below.\n\nIMPORTANT!\nBefore using this programme conduct a pelvic floor examination using EMG with the help of a specialist. The flaccid muscles allow the penetration of drops of urine into the urethra and cause reflex micturition, giving the same feeling as urinary bladder OAB, but this can be prevented by sufficient muscle exercise and stimulation. In addition to this programme, the EMG study also allows you to assess the impact of degenerative changes of the spine to the pelvic floor function.\nSTIM is a safe and drug-free treatment method which increases control over the mechanisms of the pelvic floor (innervation, blood circulation, muscle function). A urinary incontinence disorder specialist can perform the necessary examinations to advise you regarding appropriate stimulation parameters. A specialist can also help determine treatment schedule and carry out periodic EMG assessments of your rehabilitation progress.

They are in the shape of a sling and hold the bladder and urethra in place. \nSince we walk on two legs, the pelvic floor muscle group hold in place very important organs such as the intestines, bladder, urethra and vagina. \nThe urethra, rectum and vagina are our natural outlets which are kept in place only when our pelvic floor muscles are in good shape and react properly to intra abdominal pressure.\nWeakened muscles are common among young women after childbirth as well as women after menopause, and by the weakening of muscles associated with ageing. \nHowever it is important to note that muscle stimulation treatment has produced some very good results in women aged over 80.

Sports_P19 Fatigue
Sports_P19_fullname Resistance to muscle fatigue
Sports_P19_more This training works towards better resistance to muscle fatigue. The muscle fatigue is a decline in ability of a muscle to generate force. The stability of force generation is needed for prolonged muscular activities. Most commonly the muscular weakness is caused by nerve’s inability to sustain a high-frequency signal for longer periods. After a period of maximum contraction, the nerve’s signal reduces in frequency and the force generated by the contraction diminishes. There is no sensation of pain or discomfort, the muscle appears to simply ‘stop listening’ and gradually cease to move. The high frequency muscular stimulation is a part of the training. It increases the nerve's ability to generate sustained, high frequency signals which allow a muscle to contract with its greatest force.

Sports_P20_more Agonist are the muscles that we use for the intended movement (e.g. biceps to bend the elbow, tibialis to lift a foot, quadriceps for leg straightening at the knee, abdominals for trunk bending, etc) At the same time, the antagonist muscles which lie on the opposite side of the bone (or a spine) are stretched. Antagonists safeguard a range of motion and prevents from joint misplacement or damage. Which one is agonist and which antagonist is relevant to the motion: for the arm straightening, triceps becomes agonist (the one which does the motion) and biceps becomes antagonist (the one which limits/contra-balance the motion).\nWhen a weakness of one side of the counterbalancing muscles occurs, the weaker side should be strengthened to protect the joint and muscular power balance on both sides.\nThis programme is suitable for beginners.

Sports_P21 Pain
Sports_P21_fullname Pain relief
Sports_P21_more This programme is for basic general purpose pain relief.\nTranscutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) provides a non-invasive, drug free method of controlling acute and principally long term intractable pain. In TENS mild electrical impulses are transmitted through the skin via surface electrodes to modify the body’s pain perception. TENS does not cure problematic physiological conditions; it only helps to control the pain perception. TENS will not work for every user. Please seek advice from your Doctor.
Sports_P21_start The placement of electrodes is one of the most important parameters in achieving effective pain relief using TENS. This is best left to your Physiotherapist or Doctor to advise as to which location is most appropriate. It may transpire that various positions need to be experimented with before\nthe user finds the most effective positioning. The positioning may be via the contiguous, dermatome, myotome, motor, trigger or acupuncture points.\n\nDermatomes & Myotomes\nThese are areas of the body innervated by a single nerve root via the spinal cord. Each nerve root serves a known area of the skin. The dermatomes are named after the nerve root which serves it. \n\nContiguous Placement\nThis form of electrode placement is the most common method used. It involves placing the red lead [proximal] alongside the spine where the dermatome [on which your pain lies] enters and exists. The black lead [distal] s normally placed over or near to the pain site. Your Physiotherapist or Doctor may direct the current to cross through the pain area or using the "bracket" system allow the current to flow on either side of the pain site through the nerve branches that supply the pain location.
Sports_P21_enc Use TENS any time when pain occurs. Try another electrodes position if the treatment does not help after 20 minutes of stimulation.
