Combination of urge and stress incontinence in greater or lesser
proportions.
This programme treats both aspects of this form of incontinence at the
same time. Firstly, using tetanic contractions at the frequency of fast
fibres (75 Hz), it strengthens the paraurethral components of the striated
muscle of the pelvic floor, so increasing the pressure of urethral closure.
Secondly, during the resting phases between contractions, it inhibits the
activity of the smooth muscle of the bladder using very low frequencies
(5 Hz).
Use of an intravaginal probe.
Use of the maximum energy level tolerated during the tetanic
contraction phases to obtain the maximum possible space recruitment
and therefore maximum possible efficacy. The intensity will be increased
regularly during the session, every 3 or 4 contractions. During the rest
phase, the low-frequency intensity should be adjusted to at least three
times the intensity of the perception threshold.
